Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canadiens attack left, Lightning 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: MTL 27, TBL 34.

Lightning took 58.8% of the shot attempts, and 63.5% of the 104 attempts taken at 5-on-5.
