Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Rangers attack left, Penguins attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 4 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: NYR 20, PIT 34.

NYR in red PIT in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Rangers 20 shots on goal (5 goals, 10 missed, 14 blocked) attacking left; Penguins 34 shots on goal (6 goals, 22 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Penguins took 60.7% of the shot attempts, and 53.8% of the 80 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 Penguins and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Rangers hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
