Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Maple Leafs attack left, Golden Knights attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 4 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: TOR 28, VGK 33.
