Attempt share by period

Hurricanes took 56.6% of the shot attempts, and 60.0% of the 95 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 Hurricanes and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Penguins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
