Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Stars attack left, Bruins 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; 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: DAL 16, BOS 24.

DAL in red BOS in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Stars 16 shots on goal (3 goals, 12 missed, 9 blocked) attacking left; Bruins 24 shots on goal (6 goals, 16 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Bruins took 58.4% of the shot attempts, and 55.7% of the 70 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 Stars hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
