Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Maple Leafs attack left, Stars attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: TOR 28, DAL 22.

TOR in red DAL in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Maple Leafs 28 shots on goal (1 goal, 19 missed, 15 blocked) attacking left; Stars 22 shots on goal (5 goals, 11 missed, 9 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Maple Leafs took 59.6% of the shot attempts, and 57.3% of the 82 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 Stars and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Maple Leafs hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
