Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Hurricanes attack left, Senators attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 6 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: CAR 19, OTT 37.

CAR in red OTT in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Hurricanes 19 shots on goal (4 goals, 10 missed, 14 blocked) attacking left; Senators 37 shots on goal (1 goal, 10 missed, 15 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Senators took 59.0% of the shot attempts, and 56.1% of the 82 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 Senators and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Hurricanes hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
