Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Lightning attack left, Predators 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: TBL 32, NSH 20.

TBL in red NSH in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Lightning 32 shots on goal (5 goals, 13 missed, 5 blocked) attacking left; Predators 20 shots on goal (2 goals, 6 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Lightning took 53.8% of the shot attempts, and 63.8% of the 58 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 Predators and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Lightning hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
