Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Oilers attack left, Bruins attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: EDM 25, BOS 26.

EDM in red BOS in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Oilers 25 shots on goal (3 goals, 9 missed, 12 blocked) attacking left; Bruins 26 shots on goal (1 goal, 12 missed, 20 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Bruins took 55.8% of the shot attempts, and 56.2% of the 73 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 Bruins 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
