Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Predators attack left, Kings 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: NSH 31, LAK 28.

NSH in red LAK in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Predators 31 shots on goal (2 goals, 18 missed, 19 blocked) attacking left; Kings 28 shots on goal (2 goals, 16 missed, 20 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Predators took 51.5% of the shot attempts, and 49.6% of the 123 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 Kings and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Predators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
