Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Bruins attack left, Canucks 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: BOS 22, VAN 34.

BOS in red VAN in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Bruins 22 shots on goal (3 goals, 18 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Canucks 34 shots on goal (2 goals, 18 missed, 18 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canucks took 56.9% of the shot attempts, and 56.5% of the 85 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 Canucks and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Bruins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
