Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Golden Knights attack left, Oilers 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. Boxscore shots on goal: VGK 33, EDM 32.

VGK in red EDM in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Golden Knights 33 shots on goal (5 goals, 10 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Oilers 32 shots on goal (1 goal, 17 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Oilers took 54.1% of the shot attempts, and 52.9% of the 104 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 Oilers and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Golden Knights hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
