Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Wild attack left, Lightning 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; 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: MIN 24, TBL 25.

Lightning took 58.0% of the shot attempts, and 60.6% of the 94 attempts taken at 5-on-5.
