Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Maple Leafs attack left, Avalanche 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: TOR 31, COL 34.

TOR in red COL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Maple Leafs 32 shots on goal (4 goals, 10 missed, 12 blocked) attacking left; Avalanche 34 shots on goal (3 goals, 12 missed, 25 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Avalanche took 56.8% of the shot attempts, and 59.2% of the 103 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 Maple Leafs hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
