Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Predators attack left, Stars 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 27, DAL 25.

NSH in red DAL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Predators 27 shots on goal (2 goals, 8 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Stars 25 shots on goal (3 goals, 15 missed, 18 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Stars took 54.7% of the shot attempts, and 58.1% of the 86 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 Stars 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
