Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canadiens attack left, Wild 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: MTL 20, MIN 24.

MTL in red MIN in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canadiens 20 shots on goal (3 goals, 9 missed, 16 blocked) attacking left; Wild 24 shots on goal (4 goals, 26 missed, 15 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Wild took 59.1% of the shot attempts, and 58.6% of the 99 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 Wild and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Canadiens hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
