Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Lightning attack left, Stars 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: TBL 26, DAL 20.

TBL in red DAL in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Lightning 26 shots on goal (4 goals, 15 missed, 16 blocked) attacking left; Stars 20 shots on goal (1 goal, 6 missed, 16 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Lightning took 57.6% of the shot attempts, and 61.3% of the 75 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 Stars and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Lightning hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
