Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blues attack left, Penguins 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: STL 28, PIT 26.

STL in red PIT in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Blues 28 shots on goal (3 goals, 17 missed, 21 blocked) attacking left; Penguins 26 shots on goal (6 goals, 8 missed, 13 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Blues took 58.4% of the shot attempts, and 54.6% of the 97 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 Penguins and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Blues hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
