Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Golden Knights attack left, Blackhawks 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: VGK 15, CHI 20.

VGK in red CHI in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Golden Knights 15 shots on goal (2 goals, 16 missed, 10 blocked) attacking left; Blackhawks 20 shots on goal (3 goals, 17 missed, 21 blocked) attacking right.
