Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Islanders attack left, Capitals 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: NYI 23, WSH 23.

NYI in red WSH in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Islanders 23 shots on goal (3 goals, 17 missed, 14 blocked) attacking left; Capitals 23 shots on goal (1 goal, 11 missed, 18 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Islanders took 50.9% of the shot attempts, and 44.0% of the 75 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 Capitals and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Islanders hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
