Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Stars attack left, Blackhawks 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: DAL 25, CHI 21.

DAL in red CHI in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Stars 25 shots on goal (3 goals, 12 missed, 17 blocked) attacking left; Blackhawks 21 shots on goal (4 goals, 18 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Blackhawks took 50.9% of the shot attempts, and 48.8% of the 86 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 Blackhawks and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Stars hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
