Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blues attack left, Canadiens 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). Boxscore shots on goal: STL 18, MTL 26.

STL in red MTL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Blues 18 shots on goal (4 goals, 10 missed, 9 blocked) attacking left; Canadiens 26 shots on goal (3 goals, 11 missed, 20 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canadiens took 60.6% of the shot attempts, and 61.6% of the 73 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 Blues hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
