Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blue Jackets attack left, Blackhawks attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: CBJ 26, CHI 24.

CBJ in red CHI in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Blue Jackets 26 shots on goal (4 goals, 17 missed, 15 blocked) attacking left; Blackhawks 24 shots on goal (2 goals, 16 missed, 13 blocked) attacking right.
