Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Kings attack left, Sharks attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so a mark in a team's own end would be an attempt logged from there (none in this game). Boxscore shots on goal: LAK 14, SJS 40.

LAK in red SJS in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Kings 14 shots on goal (4 goals, 8 missed, 12 blocked) attacking left; Sharks 40 shots on goal (3 goals, 14 missed, 25 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Sharks took 69.9% of the shot attempts, and 62.0% of the 79 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 Sharks and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Kings hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
