Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Devils attack left, Islanders 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: NJD 32, NYI 25.

NJD in red NYI in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Devils 32 shots on goal (1 goal, 17 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Islanders 25 shots on goal (2 goals, 22 missed, 22 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Islanders took 52.7% of the shot attempts, and 54.0% of the 126 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 Islanders and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Devils hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
