Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Senators attack left, Avalanche 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: OTT 31, COL 34.

Attempt share by period
Senators took 51.2% of the shot attempts, and 54.8% of the 104 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 Avalanche and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Senators hold the remainder.
