Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canadiens attack left, Senators 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. Boxscore shots on goal: MTL 23, OTT 34.

MTL in red OTT in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canadiens 23 shots on goal (3 goals, 18 missed, 11 blocked) attacking left; Senators 34 shots on goal (2 goals, 10 missed, 25 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Senators took 57.0% of the shot attempts, and 53.7% 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 Senators and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Canadiens hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
