Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Wild attack left, Stars attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: MIN 31, DAL 20.

MIN in red DAL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Wild 31 shots on goal (4 goals, 13 missed, 16 blocked) attacking left; Stars 20 shots on goal (5 goals, 10 missed, 11 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Wild took 59.4% of the shot attempts, and 54.9% of the 82 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 Stars and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Wild hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
