Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Wild attack left, Bruins attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 6 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: MIN 34, BOS 31.

MIN in red BOS in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Wild 34 shots on goal (3 goals, 26 missed, 24 blocked) attacking left; Bruins 31 shots on goal (6 goals, 22 missed, 13 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Wild took 56.0% of the shot attempts, and 51.7% of the 118 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 Bruins and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Wild hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
