Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Bruins attack left, Hurricanes attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 5 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: BOS 21, CAR 41.

BOS in red CAR in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Bruins 21 shots on goal (5 goals, 12 missed, 12 blocked) attacking left; Hurricanes 41 shots on goal (6 goals, 18 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Hurricanes took 61.2% of the shot attempts, and 60.8% of the 97 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 Hurricanes and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Bruins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
