Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canadiens attack left, Bruins 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. Boxscore shots on goal: MTL 29, BOS 28.

Attempt share by period
Canadiens took 52.7% of the shot attempts, and 58.2% of the 79 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 Canadiens hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
