Sabres took 68.1% of the shot attempts, and 65.6% of the 96 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 Sabres and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Maple Leafs hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
