Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Sharks attack left, Predators 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. Boxscore shots on goal: SJS 30, NSH 19.

SJS in red NSH in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Sharks 30 shots on goal (3 goals, 20 missed, 16 blocked) attacking left; Predators 19 shots on goal (6 goals, 13 missed, 11 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Sharks took 60.5% of the shot attempts, and 59.1% of the 88 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 Predators and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Sharks hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
