Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Capitals attack left, Kraken attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 2 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: WSH 20, SEA 32.

WSH in red SEA in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Capitals 20 shots on goal (1 goal, 9 missed, 18 blocked) attacking left; Kraken 32 shots on goal (5 goals, 15 missed, 16 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Kraken took 57.3% of the shot attempts, and 59.1% of the 88 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 Kraken 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
