Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Senators attack left, Maple Leafs attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 7 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: OTT 31, TOR 33.

OTT in red TOR in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Senators 31 shots on goal (5 goals, 23 missed, 9 blocked) attacking left; Maple Leafs 33 shots on goal (7 goals, 9 missed, 7 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Senators took 56.3% of the shot attempts, and 54.0% of the 87 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 Senators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
