Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blackhawks attack left, Senators 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: CHI 24, OTT 40.

CHI in red OTT in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Blackhawks 24 shots on goal (4 goals, 8 missed, 10 blocked) attacking left; Senators 40 shots on goal (6 goals, 21 missed, 20 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Senators took 65.8% of the shot attempts, and 67.1% of the 85 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 Senators and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Blackhawks hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
