Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Islanders attack left, Capitals 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: NYI 30, WSH 25.

NYI in red WSH in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Islanders 30 shots on goal (1 goal, 20 missed, 23 blocked) attacking left; Capitals 25 shots on goal (4 goals, 10 missed, 13 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Islanders took 60.3% of the shot attempts, and 60.9% of the 92 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 Capitals and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Islanders hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
