Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Predators attack left, Hurricanes attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: NSH 22, CAR 40.

NSH in red CAR in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Predators 22 shots on goal (3 goals, 16 missed, 9 blocked) attacking left; Hurricanes 40 shots on goal (6 goals, 12 missed, 16 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Hurricanes took 59.1% of the shot attempts, and 55.6% of the 81 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 Hurricanes and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Predators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
