Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Bruins 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. Boxscore shots on goal: BOS 23, MTL 28.

Attempt share by period
Canadiens took 53.0% of the shot attempts, and 54.0% of the 76 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 Bruins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
