Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Oilers attack left, Avalanche 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: EDM 24, COL 30.

EDM in red COL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Oilers 24 shots on goal (4 goals, 13 missed, 9 blocked) attacking left; Avalanche 30 shots on goal (3 goals, 15 missed, 26 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Avalanche took 60.7% of the shot attempts, and 62.0% of the 79 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 Avalanche and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Oilers hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
