Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Panthers attack left, Penguins attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so a mark in a team's own end would be an attempt logged from there (none in this game). Boxscore shots on goal: FLA 31, PIT 23.

FLA in red PIT in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Panthers 31 shots on goal (2 goals, 24 missed, 17 blocked) attacking left; Penguins 23 shots on goal (5 goals, 12 missed, 9 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Panthers took 62.1% of the shot attempts, and 65.6% of the 61 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 Penguins and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Panthers hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
