Boxscore shots on goal: DET 27, PIT 31.

DET in red PIT in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Red Wings 27 shots on goal (3 goals, 20 missed, 21 blocked) attacking left; Penguins 31 shots on goal (4 goals, 15 missed, 20 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Red Wings took 50.8% of the shot attempts, and 40.7% of the 91 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 Penguins and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Red Wings hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
