Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Lightning attack left, Canadiens attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 4 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: TBL 27, MTL 27.

TBL in red MTL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Lightning 27 shots on goal (6 goals, 13 missed, 22 blocked) attacking left; Canadiens 27 shots on goal (1 goal, 15 missed, 18 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Lightning took 50.8% of the shot attempts, and 55.8% of the 95 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 Lightning hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
