Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Hurricanes attack left, Stars attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 2 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: CAR 28, DAL 34.

CAR in red DAL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Hurricanes 28 shots on goal (2 goals, 23 missed, 31 blocked) attacking left; Stars 34 shots on goal (3 goals, 7 missed, 10 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Hurricanes took 61.6% of the shot attempts, and 63.0% of the 100 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 Stars and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Hurricanes hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
