Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Senators attack left, Wild 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. Boxscore shots on goal: OTT 36, MIN 25.

OTT in red MIN in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Senators 36 shots on goal (2 goals, 19 missed, 21 blocked) attacking left; Wild 25 shots on goal (3 goals, 9 missed, 8 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Senators took 64.4% of the shot attempts, and 64.5% of the 93 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 Wild and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Senators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
