Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Golden Knights attack left, Stars attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 2 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: VGK 27, DAL 16.

VGK in red DAL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Golden Knights 27 shots on goal (1 goal, 10 missed, 18 blocked) attacking left; Stars 16 shots on goal (2 goals, 13 missed, 10 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Golden Knights took 58.5% of the shot attempts, and 62.3% of the 69 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 Stars and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Golden Knights hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
