Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Kings attack left, Lightning 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 20, TBL 32.

LAK in red TBL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Kings 20 shots on goal (2 goals, 6 missed, 7 blocked) attacking left; Lightning 32 shots on goal (1 goal, 23 missed, 22 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Lightning took 70.0% of the shot attempts, and 68.1% of the 91 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 Lightning 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
