Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Avalanche attack left, Kings 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: COL 39, LAK 21.

COL in red LAK in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Avalanche 39 shots on goal (4 goals, 16 missed, 24 blocked) attacking left; Kings 21 shots on goal (2 goals, 14 missed, 11 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Avalanche took 63.2% of the shot attempts, and 64.7% of the 116 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 Kings and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Avalanche hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
