Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Wild attack left, Sharks attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: MIN 23, SJS 28.

MIN in red SJS in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Wild 23 shots on goal (3 goals, 19 missed, 22 blocked) attacking left; Sharks 28 shots on goal (3 goals, 12 missed, 14 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Wild took 54.2% of the shot attempts, and 54.5% of the 101 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 Sharks and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Wild hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
