Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Islanders attack left, Blue Jackets attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 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: NYI 26, CBJ 35.

NYI in red CBJ in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Islanders 26 shots on goal (2 goals, 10 missed, 20 blocked) attacking left; Blue Jackets 35 shots on goal (4 goals, 21 missed, 23 blocked) attacking right.

An attempt is a goal, a shot on goal, a miss or a blocked shot; CF% is the share of them belonging to the Blue Jackets and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Islanders hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
