Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Kraken attack left, Canucks attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so a mark in a team's own end would be an attempt logged from there (none in this game). Boxscore shots on goal: SEA 28, VAN 24.

SEA in red VAN in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Kraken 28 shots on goal (3 goals, 11 missed, 6 blocked) attacking left; Canucks 24 shots on goal (3 goals, 30 missed, 24 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canucks took 63.4% of the shot attempts, and 63.7% of the 102 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 Canucks and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Kraken hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
