Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Wild attack left, Predators 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. Boxscore shots on goal: MIN 43, NSH 35.

MIN in red NSH in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Wild 43 shots on goal (6 goals, 18 missed, 17 blocked) attacking left; Predators 35 shots on goal (5 goals, 12 missed, 15 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Wild took 55.7% of the shot attempts, and 57.3% of the 124 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 Predators and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Wild hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
