Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Penguins attack left, Maple Leafs 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; 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: PIT 32, TOR 31.

PIT in red TOR in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Penguins 32 shots on goal (3 goals, 8 missed, 17 blocked) attacking left; Maple Leafs 31 shots on goal (6 goals, 15 missed, 9 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Penguins took 50.9% of the shot attempts, and 53.1% of the 96 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 Maple Leafs and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Penguins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
