Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Lightning attack left, Sharks 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: TBL 26, SJS 22.

Lightning took 56.6% of the shot attempts, and 61.5% of the 83 attempts taken at 5-on-5.
