Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blues attack left, Wild 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: STL 24, MIN 23.

STL in red MIN in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Blues 24 shots on goal (3 goals, 15 missed, 12 blocked) attacking left; Wild 23 shots on goal (1 goal, 18 missed, 9 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Blues took 50.5% of the shot attempts, and 51.8% 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 Wild and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Blues hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
