Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Wild attack left, Kraken 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; 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: MIN 29, SEA 24.

MIN in red SEA in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Wild 29 shots on goal (4 goals, 17 missed, 21 blocked) attacking left; Kraken 24 shots on goal (1 goal, 21 missed, 18 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Wild took 51.5% of the shot attempts, and 46.2% of the 106 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 Kraken and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Wild hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
