Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Ducks attack left, Capitals attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 4 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: ANA 45, WSH 29.

Attempt share by period
Ducks took 63.6% of the shot attempts, and 65.2% of the 112 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 Capitals and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Ducks hold the remainder.
