Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blue Jackets attack left, Capitals attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 4 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: CBJ 23, WSH 31.

CBJ in red WSH in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Blue Jackets 23 shots on goal (1 goal, 13 missed, 15 blocked) attacking left; Capitals 31 shots on goal (5 goals, 15 missed, 10 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Capitals took 52.3% of the shot attempts, and 49.5% of the 93 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 Blue Jackets hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
