Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Penguins attack left, Blackhawks attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so a mark in a team's own end would be an attempt logged from there (none in this game). Boxscore shots on goal: PIT 24, CHI 24.
