Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Penguins attack left, Wild 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: PIT 34, MIN 27.

PIT in red MIN in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Penguins 34 shots on goal (4 goals, 13 missed, 11 blocked) attacking left; Wild 27 shots on goal (1 goal, 15 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Wild took 50.4% of the shot attempts, and 51.5% of the 103 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 Wild and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Penguins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
