Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canadiens attack left, Blues 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: MTL 26, STL 19.

MTL in red STL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canadiens 26 shots on goal (0 goals, 22 missed, 17 blocked) attacking left; Blues 19 shots on goal (2 goals, 9 missed, 10 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canadiens took 63.1% of the shot attempts, and 57.3% of the 75 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 Blues and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Canadiens hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
