Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Islanders attack left, Kings attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 8 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: NYI 35, LAK 35.

NYI in red LAK in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Islanders 35 shots on goal (3 goals, 20 missed, 24 blocked) attacking left; Kings 35 shots on goal (5 goals, 22 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Islanders took 51.6% of the shot attempts, and 51.9% of the 106 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 Islanders hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
