Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Panthers attack left, Devils attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: FLA 21, NJD 33.

FLA in red NJD in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Panthers 21 shots on goal (1 goal, 11 missed, 11 blocked) attacking left; Devils 33 shots on goal (5 goals, 13 missed, 9 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Devils took 56.1% of the shot attempts, and 52.0% of the 73 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 Devils and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Panthers hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
