Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blue Jackets attack left, Panthers attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: CBJ 31, FLA 21.

CBJ in red FLA in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Blue Jackets 31 shots on goal (1 goal, 11 missed, 17 blocked) attacking left; Panthers 21 shots on goal (2 goals, 24 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Blue Jackets took 50.9% of the shot attempts, and 53.1% of the 98 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 Panthers and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Blue Jackets hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
