Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Flames attack left, Capitals attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 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: CGY 26, WSH 29.

CGY in red WSH in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Flames 26 shots on goal (3 goals, 19 missed, 23 blocked) attacking left; Capitals 29 shots on goal (7 goals, 15 missed, 13 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Flames took 54.4% of the shot attempts, and 55.7% 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 Capitals and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Flames hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
