Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Panthers attack left, Blue Jackets 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: FLA 28, CBJ 28.

FLA in red CBJ in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Panthers 28 shots on goal (2 goals, 27 missed, 21 blocked) attacking left; Blue Jackets 28 shots on goal (4 goals, 12 missed, 8 blocked) attacking right.

All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
