Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Lightning attack left, Panthers 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); 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: TBL 20, FLA 23.
