Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Avalanche attack left, Canucks 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: COL 32, VAN 33.

COL in red VAN in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Avalanche 32 shots on goal (5 goals, 14 missed, 19 blocked) attacking left; Canucks 33 shots on goal (4 goals, 22 missed, 15 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canucks took 51.9% of the shot attempts, and 45.6% of the 103 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 Canucks and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Avalanche hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
