Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Capitals attack left, Blue Jackets attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: WSH 21, CBJ 28.

WSH in red CBJ in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Capitals 21 shots on goal (2 goals, 16 missed, 17 blocked) attacking left; Blue Jackets 28 shots on goal (1 goal, 9 missed, 14 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Capitals took 51.4% of the shot attempts, and 45.5% of the 77 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 Blue Jackets and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Capitals hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
