Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Devils attack left, Golden Knights attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 5 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: NJD 33, VGK 37.

NJD in red VGK in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Devils 33 shots on goal (1 goal, 14 missed, 21 blocked) attacking left; Golden Knights 37 shots on goal (1 goal, 18 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

An attempt is a goal, a shot on goal, a miss or a blocked shot; CF% is the share of them belonging to the Golden Knights and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Devils hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
