Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Penguins attack left, Devils 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: PIT 30, NJD 21.

PIT in red NJD in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Penguins 30 shots on goal (5 goals, 15 missed, 18 blocked) attacking left; Devils 21 shots on goal (2 goals, 11 missed, 10 blocked) attacking right.

An attempt is a goal, a shot on goal, a miss or a blocked shot; CF% is the share of them belonging to the Devils and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Penguins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
