Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Penguins attack left, Rangers 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: PIT 34, NYR 25.

PIT in red NYR in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Penguins 34 shots on goal (2 goals, 13 missed, 14 blocked) attacking left; Rangers 25 shots on goal (2 goals, 22 missed, 21 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Rangers took 52.7% of the shot attempts, and 59.0% of the 100 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 Rangers and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Penguins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
