Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Kings attack left, Stars 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: LAK 28, DAL 26.

LAK in red DAL in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Kings 28 shots on goal (1 goal, 16 missed, 18 blocked) attacking left; Stars 26 shots on goal (4 goals, 10 missed, 16 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Kings took 54.4% of the shot attempts, and 50.5% 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 Stars and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Kings hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
