Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Islanders attack left, Red Wings 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: NYI 18, DET 21.

NYI in red DET in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Islanders 18 shots on goal (2 goals, 12 missed, 22 blocked) attacking left; Red Wings 21 shots on goal (3 goals, 20 missed, 21 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Red Wings took 54.4% of the shot attempts, and 55.3% of the 103 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 Red Wings and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Islanders hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
