Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canadiens attack left, Islanders attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 2 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: MTL 22, NYI 33.

MTL in red NYI in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canadiens 22 shots on goal (4 goals, 14 missed, 12 blocked) attacking left; Islanders 33 shots on goal (1 goal, 19 missed, 14 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Islanders took 57.9% of the shot attempts, and 60.2% of the 93 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 Islanders and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Canadiens hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
