Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Penguins attack left, Bruins 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: PIT 35, BOS 28.

PIT in red BOS in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Penguins 35 shots on goal (1 goal, 20 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Bruins 28 shots on goal (2 goals, 19 missed, 23 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Bruins took 50.7% of the shot attempts, and 52.3% of the 109 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 Bruins 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
