Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Senators attack left, Capitals attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: OTT 34, WSH 13.

OTT in red WSH in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Senators 34 shots on goal (7 goals, 11 missed, 12 blocked) attacking left; Capitals 13 shots on goal (1 goal, 16 missed, 25 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Senators took 51.4% of the shot attempts, and 50.0% of the 92 attempts taken at 5-on-5. An attempt is a goal, a shot on goal, a miss or a blocked shot; CF% is the share of them belonging to the Capitals and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Senators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
