Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Senators attack left, Blue Jackets 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: OTT 21, CBJ 22.

OTT in red CBJ in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Senators 21 shots on goal (4 goals, 15 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Blue Jackets 22 shots on goal (1 goal, 12 missed, 16 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Blue Jackets took 50.5% of the shot attempts, and 50.7% of the 71 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 Blue Jackets and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Senators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
