Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Sabres attack left, Blue Jackets attack right, all periods folded onto one rink.
Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 6 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: BUF 33, CBJ 35.

Attempt share by period
Sabres took 55.1% of the shot attempts, and 50.0% of the 112 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 Blue Jackets and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Sabres hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
