Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Predators attack left, Capitals 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: NSH 29, WSH 30.

NSH in red WSH in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Predators 29 shots on goal (2 goals, 14 missed, 20 blocked) attacking left; Capitals 30 shots on goal (4 goals, 11 missed, 8 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Predators took 56.3% of the shot attempts, and 55.3% of the 85 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 Predators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
