Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Kraken attack left, Golden Knights 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: SEA 22, VGK 29.

SEA in red VGK in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Kraken 22 shots on goal (3 goals, 13 missed, 11 blocked) attacking left; Golden Knights 29 shots on goal (2 goals, 14 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Golden Knights took 56.6% of the shot attempts, and 52.4% of the 84 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 Golden Knights and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Kraken hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
