Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Lightning attack left, Senators attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 4 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: TBL 30, OTT 32.

TBL in red OTT in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Lightning 30 shots on goal (2 goals, 14 missed, 14 blocked) attacking left; Senators 32 shots on goal (6 goals, 19 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Senators took 52.1% of the shot attempts, and 47.6% of the 103 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 Senators and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Lightning hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
