Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blue Jackets attack left, Sharks 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; 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: CBJ 36, SJS 36.

CBJ in red SJS in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Blue Jackets 36 shots on goal (2 goals, 12 missed, 17 blocked) attacking left; Sharks 36 shots on goal (5 goals, 10 missed, 19 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Sharks took 50.0% of the shot attempts, and 42.0% of the 100 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 Sharks and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Blue Jackets hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
