Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Avalanche attack left, Kraken attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 4 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: COL 39, SEA 38.

Attempt share by period
Avalanche took 53.8% of the shot attempts, and 51.2% of the 121 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 Kraken and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Avalanche hold the remainder.
