Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Sabres attack left, Flames attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: BUF 29, CGY 28.

BUF in red CGY in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Sabres 29 shots on goal (4 goals, 19 missed, 18 blocked) attacking left; Flames 28 shots on goal (7 goals, 11 missed, 8 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Sabres took 58.4% of the shot attempts, and 58.8% of the 80 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 Flames and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Sabres hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
