Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Capitals attack left, Kings 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); 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: WSH 25, LAK 25.

WSH in red LAK in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Capitals 25 shots on goal (3 goals, 12 missed, 7 blocked) attacking left; Kings 25 shots on goal (1 goal, 21 missed, 22 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Kings took 60.7% of the shot attempts, and 61.6% of the 86 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 Kings and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Capitals hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
