Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Kings attack left, Panthers 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: LAK 29, FLA 29.

LAK in red FLA in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Kings 29 shots on goal (2 goals, 14 missed, 23 blocked) attacking left; Panthers 29 shots on goal (3 goals, 11 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Kings took 53.7% of the shot attempts, and 52.9% of the 102 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 Panthers 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
