Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Rangers attack left, Lightning 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: NYR 21, TBL 31.

NYR in red TBL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Rangers 21 shots on goal (4 goals, 14 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Lightning 31 shots on goal (2 goals, 19 missed, 16 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Lightning took 57.9% of the shot attempts, and 59.8% of the 92 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 Lightning and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Rangers hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
