Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Devils attack left, Wild 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. Boxscore shots on goal: NJD 29, MIN 23.

NJD in red MIN in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Devils 29 shots on goal (5 goals, 13 missed, 15 blocked) attacking left; Wild 23 shots on goal (2 goals, 20 missed, 19 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Wild took 52.1% of the shot attempts, and 52.0% 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 Wild and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Devils hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
