Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blue Jackets attack left, Rangers attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 2 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: CBJ 29, NYR 33.

CBJ in red NYR in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Blue Jackets 29 shots on goal (5 goals, 9 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Rangers 33 shots on goal (4 goals, 12 missed, 22 blocked) attacking right.

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 Blue Jackets hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
