Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Flyers attack left, Sabres 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: PHI 22, BUF 15.

PHI in red BUF in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Flyers 22 shots on goal (2 goals, 20 missed, 11 blocked) attacking left; Sabres 15 shots on goal (5 goals, 15 missed, 9 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Flyers took 57.6% of the shot attempts, and 57.8% of the 64 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 Sabres and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Flyers hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
