Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Predators attack left, Flames attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: NSH 36, CGY 23.

NSH in red CGY in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Predators 36 shots on goal (4 goals, 15 missed, 12 blocked) attacking left; Flames 23 shots on goal (3 goals, 14 missed, 15 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Predators took 54.8% of the shot attempts, and 56.2% of the 105 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 Flames and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Predators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
