Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Capitals attack left, Oilers 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). Boxscore shots on goal: WSH 27, EDM 40.

WSH in red EDM in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Capitals 27 shots on goal (5 goals, 19 missed, 19 blocked) attacking left; Oilers 40 shots on goal (6 goals, 18 missed, 18 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Oilers took 53.9% of the shot attempts, and 43.6% of the 101 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 Oilers and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Capitals hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
