Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Stars attack left, Predators 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: DAL 22, NSH 21.

Attempt share by period
Predators took 51.7% of the shot attempts, and 53.2% of the 62 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 Predators and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Stars hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
