Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Kings attack left, Red Wings attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 5 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: LAK 22, DET 28.

LAK in red DET in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Kings 22 shots on goal (3 goals, 17 missed, 17 blocked) attacking left; Red Wings 28 shots on goal (1 goal, 24 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Red Wings took 55.2% of the shot attempts, and 53.8% of the 93 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 Red Wings and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Kings hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
