Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canucks attack left, Avalanche attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 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: VAN 26, COL 30.

Attempt share by period
Avalanche took 55.4% of the shot attempts, and 53.8% of the 93 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 Avalanche and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Canucks hold the remainder.
