Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Devils attack left, Stars 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: NJD 25, DAL 27.

NJD in red DAL in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Devils 25 shots on goal (6 goals, 8 missed, 15 blocked) attacking left; Stars 27 shots on goal (4 goals, 14 missed, 24 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Stars took 57.5% of the shot attempts, and 57.8% 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 Stars and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Devils hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
