Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Penguins attack left, Islanders 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: PIT 32, NYI 23.
