Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Golden Knights attack left, Rangers 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: VGK 28, NYR 24.

VGK in red NYR in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Golden Knights 28 shots on goal (3 goals, 19 missed, 24 blocked) attacking left; Rangers 24 shots on goal (2 goals, 11 missed, 11 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Golden Knights took 60.7% of the shot attempts, and 61.7% of the 94 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 Rangers and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Golden Knights hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
