Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Senators attack left, Lightning attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 4 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: OTT 28, TBL 27.

OTT in red TBL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Senators 28 shots on goal (2 goals, 12 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Lightning 27 shots on goal (4 goals, 26 missed, 24 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Lightning took 59.2% of the shot attempts, and 58.9% of the 107 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 Lightning and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Senators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
