Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blues attack left, Capitals attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so a mark in a team's own end would be an attempt logged from there (none in this game). Boxscore shots on goal: STL 24, WSH 32.

STL in red WSH in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Blues 24 shots on goal (1 goal, 12 missed, 15 blocked) attacking left; Capitals 32 shots on goal (6 goals, 13 missed, 25 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Capitals took 57.9% of the shot attempts, and 60.4% 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 Capitals and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Blues hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
