Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Kings attack left, Canadiens attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 2 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: LAK 26, MTL 22.

Attempt share by period
Kings took 51.3% of the shot attempts, and 52.1% of the 96 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 Canadiens and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Kings hold the remainder.
