Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Bruins attack left, Capitals attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 5 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: BOS 34, WSH 28.

BOS in red WSH in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Bruins 34 shots on goal (2 goals, 16 missed, 14 blocked) attacking left; Capitals 28 shots on goal (2 goals, 12 missed, 14 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Bruins took 54.2% of the shot attempts, and 53.4% of the 73 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 Capitals and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Bruins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
