Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canucks attack left, Sharks 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: VAN 34, SJS 24.

Attempt share by period
Canucks took 60.2% of the shot attempts, and 56.7% of the 60 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 Sharks and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Canucks hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
