Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canucks attack left, Devils 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: VAN 15, NJD 26.

VAN in red NJD in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canucks 15 shots on goal (2 goals, 14 missed, 11 blocked) attacking left; Devils 26 shots on goal (1 goal, 17 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Devils took 60.0% of the shot attempts, and 56.4% of the 78 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 Devils and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Canucks hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
