Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Panthers attack left, Senators attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: FLA 23, OTT 26.

FLA in red OTT in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Panthers 23 shots on goal (1 goal, 14 missed, 16 blocked) attacking left; Senators 26 shots on goal (5 goals, 19 missed, 15 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Senators took 53.1% of the shot attempts, and 53.9% of the 104 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 Panthers hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
