Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Flames attack left, Canadiens attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: CGY 29, MTL 36.

CGY in red MTL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Flames 29 shots on goal (1 goal, 12 missed, 19 blocked) attacking left; Canadiens 36 shots on goal (4 goals, 14 missed, 14 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canadiens took 51.6% of the shot attempts, and 52.9% of the 102 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 Canadiens and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Flames hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
