Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Devils attack left, Capitals 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: NJD 31, WSH 31.

NJD in red WSH in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Devils 31 shots on goal (2 goals, 17 missed, 18 blocked) attacking left; Capitals 31 shots on goal (2 goals, 15 missed, 23 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Capitals took 51.1% of the shot attempts, and 58.3% of the 108 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 Capitals and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Devils hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
