Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Devils attack left, Rangers attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 2 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: NJD 23, NYR 23.

NJD in red NYR in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Devils 23 shots on goal (1 goal, 24 missed, 19 blocked) attacking left; Rangers 23 shots on goal (4 goals, 24 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Devils took 52.8% of the shot attempts, and 54.2% 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 Rangers and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Devils hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
