Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canadiens attack left, Canucks attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: MTL 24, VAN 31.

MTL in red VAN in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canadiens 24 shots on goal (4 goals, 18 missed, 16 blocked) attacking left; Canucks 31 shots on goal (3 goals, 20 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canucks took 54.0% of the shot attempts, and 55.6% of the 99 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 Canucks and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Canadiens hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
