Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Senators attack left, Canadiens attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: OTT 29, MTL 22.

OTT in red MTL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Senators 29 shots on goal (5 goals, 15 missed, 19 blocked) attacking left; Canadiens 22 shots on goal (2 goals, 10 missed, 16 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Senators took 56.8% of the shot attempts, and 53.9% 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 Canadiens and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Senators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
