Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Avalanche attack left, Blackhawks 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: COL 26, CHI 22.

COL in red CHI in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Avalanche 26 shots on goal (1 goal, 17 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Blackhawks 22 shots on goal (0 goals, 14 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Avalanche took 51.4% of the shot attempts, and 52.8% of the 91 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 Blackhawks and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Avalanche hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
