Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Devils attack left, Sharks 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: NJD 31, SJS 28.

NJD in red SJS in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Devils 31 shots on goal (2 goals, 7 missed, 27 blocked) attacking left; Sharks 28 shots on goal (5 goals, 8 missed, 14 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Devils took 56.5% of the shot attempts, and 58.4% of the 101 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 Devils hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
