Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Capitals attack left, Mammoth 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: WSH 25, UTA 40.

Attempt share by period

Mammoth took 63.0% of the shot attempts, and 61.5% of the 96 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 Mammoth and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Capitals hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
