Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Kings attack left, Rangers 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: LAK 26, NYR 22.

LAK in red NYR in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Kings 26 shots on goal (4 goals, 13 missed, 14 blocked) attacking left; Rangers 22 shots on goal (1 goal, 16 missed, 13 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Kings took 51.0% of the shot attempts, and 46.7% of the 90 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 Rangers and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Kings hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
