Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Senators attack left, Capitals 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; 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: OTT 35, WSH 25.

OTT in red WSH in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Senators 35 shots on goal (1 goal, 22 missed, 20 blocked) attacking left; Capitals 25 shots on goal (4 goals, 19 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Senators took 57.9% of the shot attempts, and 55.0% of the 100 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 Senators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
