Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Wild attack left, Penguins 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: MIN 21, PIT 19.

MIN in red PIT in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Wild 21 shots on goal (5 goals, 16 missed, 14 blocked) attacking left; Penguins 19 shots on goal (0 goals, 17 missed, 15 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Penguins took 50.0% of the shot attempts, and 52.9% of the 87 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 Penguins and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Wild hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
