Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Bruins attack left, Blue Jackets attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: BOS 39, CBJ 25.

BOS in red CBJ in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Bruins 39 shots on goal (3 goals, 18 missed, 28 blocked) attacking left; Blue Jackets 25 shots on goal (3 goals, 9 missed, 15 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Bruins took 63.4% of the shot attempts, and 59.0% of the 95 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 Blue Jackets and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Bruins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
