Shot chart

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

OTT in red NJD in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Senators 30 shots on goal (3 goals, 9 missed, 7 blocked) attacking left; Devils 30 shots on goal (4 goals, 19 missed, 10 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Devils took 56.2% of the shot attempts, and 52.2% of the 69 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 Devils and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Senators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
