Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Rangers attack left, Devils attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: NYR 20, NJD 35.
