Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Jets attack left, Sabres 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: WPG 24, BUF 31.
