Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Oilers attack left, Penguins attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so a mark in a team's own end would be an attempt logged from there (none in this game); 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: EDM 23, PIT 30.

EDM in red PIT in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Oilers 23 shots on goal (6 goals, 23 missed, 8 blocked) attacking left; Penguins 30 shots on goal (4 goals, 14 missed, 20 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Penguins took 54.2% of the shot attempts, and 50.6% of the 81 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 Penguins and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Oilers hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
