Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Predators attack left, Oilers attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 2 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 26, EDM 43.

NSH in red EDM in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Predators 26 shots on goal (2 goals, 15 missed, 19 blocked) attacking left; Oilers 43 shots on goal (6 goals, 15 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Oilers took 55.6% of the shot attempts, and 52.9% of the 119 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 Oilers 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
