Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Flames attack left, Avalanche attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so a mark in a team's own end would be an attempt logged from there (none in this game); 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: CGY 29, COL 41.

CGY in red COL in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Flames 29 shots on goal (1 goal, 18 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Avalanche 41 shots on goal (3 goals, 17 missed, 20 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Avalanche took 56.5% of the shot attempts, and 57.1% of the 119 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 Avalanche and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Flames hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
