Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Panthers attack left, Hurricanes 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: FLA 22, CAR 19.

FLA in red CAR in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Panthers 22 shots on goal (5 goals, 20 missed, 12 blocked) attacking left; Hurricanes 19 shots on goal (2 goals, 24 missed, 13 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Hurricanes took 50.9% of the shot attempts, and 50.5% of the 95 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 Hurricanes and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Panthers hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
