Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Maple Leafs attack left, Canadiens 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: TOR 18, MTL 33.

TOR in red MTL in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Maple Leafs 18 shots on goal (1 goal, 11 missed, 19 blocked) attacking left; Canadiens 33 shots on goal (3 goals, 19 missed, 16 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canadiens took 58.6% of the shot attempts, and 59.4% of the 96 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 Canadiens and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Maple Leafs hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
