Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Sharks attack left, Predators 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: SJS 23, NSH 28.

Attempt share by period
Predators took 54.0% of the shot attempts, and 52.0% of the 100 attempts taken at 5-on-5.
