Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blue Jackets attack left, Islanders 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. Boxscore shots on goal: CBJ 22, NYI 39.

CBJ in red NYI in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Blue Jackets 22 shots on goal (2 goals, 11 missed, 12 blocked) attacking left; Islanders 39 shots on goal (3 goals, 14 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Islanders took 60.9% of the shot attempts, and 63.9% of the 97 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 Islanders and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Blue Jackets hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
