Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Kings attack left, Avalanche attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 6 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: LAK 25, COL 26.

LAK in red COL in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Kings 25 shots on goal (2 goals, 18 missed, 10 blocked) attacking left; Avalanche 26 shots on goal (5 goals, 21 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Avalanche took 52.7% of the shot attempts, and 50.6% of the 85 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 Avalanche and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Kings hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
