Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Maple Leafs attack left, Islanders 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: TOR 21, NYI 25.

TOR in red NYI in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Maple Leafs 21 shots on goal (3 goals, 18 missed, 15 blocked) attacking left; Islanders 25 shots on goal (4 goals, 20 missed, 13 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Islanders took 51.8% of the shot attempts, and 51.0% of the 98 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 Islanders and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Maple Leafs hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
