Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blackhawks attack left, Sharks 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: CHI 29, SJS 23.

CHI in red SJS in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Blackhawks 29 shots on goal (2 goals, 11 missed, 11 blocked) attacking left; Sharks 23 shots on goal (3 goals, 14 missed, 13 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Blackhawks took 50.5% of the shot attempts, and 39.2% of the 74 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 Sharks and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Blackhawks hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
