Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canadiens attack left, Rangers attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: MTL 18, NYR 29.

MTL in red NYR in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canadiens 18 shots on goal (4 goals, 18 missed, 20 blocked) attacking left; Rangers 29 shots on goal (5 goals, 25 missed, 23 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Rangers took 57.9% of the shot attempts, and 55.2% of the 105 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 Canadiens hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
