Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Lightning attack left, Canadiens 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. Boxscore shots on goal: TBL 18, MTL 21.

Canadiens took 62.1% of the shot attempts, and 63.0% of the 54 attempts taken at 5-on-5.
