Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canadiens attack left, Ducks 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: MTL 28, ANA 33.

MTL in red ANA in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canadiens 28 shots on goal (5 goals, 24 missed, 15 blocked) attacking left; Ducks 33 shots on goal (5 goals, 12 missed, 15 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canadiens took 52.8% of the shot attempts, and 50.5% of the 99 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 Ducks and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Canadiens hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
