Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Panthers attack left, Lightning 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. Boxscore shots on goal: FLA 24, TBL 28.

FLA in red TBL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Panthers 24 shots on goal (5 goals, 5 missed, 5 blocked) attacking left; Lightning 28 shots on goal (2 goals, 18 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Lightning took 65.0% of the shot attempts, and 70.6% of the 68 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 Lightning and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Panthers hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
