Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Lightning attack left, Canadiens attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: TBL 33, MTL 30.

TBL in red MTL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Lightning 33 shots on goal (1 goal, 31 missed, 26 blocked) attacking left; Canadiens 30 shots on goal (0 goals, 21 missed, 15 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Lightning took 57.7% of the shot attempts, and 56.6% of the 122 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 Canadiens and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Lightning hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
