Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Senators attack left, Predators attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so a mark in a team's own end would be an attempt logged from there (none in this game); 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: OTT 26, NSH 27.

OTT in red NSH in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Senators 26 shots on goal (3 goals, 13 missed, 10 blocked) attacking left; Predators 27 shots on goal (5 goals, 16 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Predators took 52.9% of the shot attempts, and 56.0% of the 84 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 Predators 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
