Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Maple Leafs attack left, Rangers attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so a mark in a team's own end would be an attempt logged from there (none in this game); 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: TOR 32, NYR 24.

TOR in red NYR in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Maple Leafs 32 shots on goal (2 goals, 13 missed, 9 blocked) attacking left; Rangers 24 shots on goal (6 goals, 13 missed, 27 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Rangers took 54.2% of the shot attempts, and 56.3% of the 103 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 Rangers and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Maple Leafs hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
