Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Hurricanes 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: CAR 21, NYI 30.

CAR in red NYI in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Hurricanes 21 shots on goal (2 goals, 15 missed, 7 blocked) attacking left; Islanders 30 shots on goal (1 goal, 10 missed, 19 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Islanders took 57.8% of the shot attempts, and 52.4% of the 84 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 Hurricanes hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
