Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Kraken attack left, Blue Jackets attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 2 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: SEA 17, CBJ 28.

SEA in red CBJ in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Kraken 17 shots on goal (2 goals, 14 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Blue Jackets 28 shots on goal (5 goals, 11 missed, 13 blocked) attacking right.
