Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Golden Knights attack left, Senators 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: VGK 20, OTT 32.

VGK in red OTT in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Golden Knights 20 shots on goal (1 goal, 11 missed, 18 blocked) attacking left; Senators 32 shots on goal (7 goals, 23 missed, 18 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Senators took 59.8% of the shot attempts, and 61.5% of the 109 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 Golden Knights hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
