Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Predators attack left, Kraken attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 4 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: NSH 25, SEA 23.

NSH in red SEA in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Predators 25 shots on goal (1 goal, 18 missed, 21 blocked) attacking left; Kraken 23 shots on goal (4 goals, 13 missed, 18 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Predators took 54.2% of the shot attempts, and 54.0% of the 111 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 Kraken and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Predators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
