Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Sharks attack left, Stars 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: SJS 17, DAL 24.

Stars took 53.9% of the shot attempts, and 56.8% of the 74 attempts taken at 5-on-5.
