Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Sabres attack left, Bruins 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. Boxscore shots on goal: BUF 40, BOS 22.

BUF in red BOS in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Sabres 40 shots on goal (3 goals, 21 missed, 8 blocked) attacking left; Bruins 22 shots on goal (4 goals, 18 missed, 19 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Sabres took 53.9% of the shot attempts, and 55.3% of the 94 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 Bruins and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Sabres hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
