Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Rangers attack left, Avalanche attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 6 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: NYR 19, COL 35.

NYR in red COL in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Rangers 19 shots on goal (3 goals, 11 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Avalanche 35 shots on goal (6 goals, 19 missed, 26 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Avalanche took 65.0% of the shot attempts, and 66.7% of the 90 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 Avalanche and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Rangers hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
