Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Bruins attack left, Penguins attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 4 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: BOS 28, PIT 40.

BOS in red PIT in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Bruins 28 shots on goal (4 goals, 13 missed, 15 blocked) attacking left; Penguins 40 shots on goal (5 goals, 17 missed, 18 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Penguins took 57.3% of the shot attempts, and 61.5% of the 104 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 Penguins and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Bruins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
