Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Flyers attack left, Penguins 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: PHI 20, PIT 18.

PHI in red PIT in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Flyers 20 shots on goal (3 goals, 17 missed, 9 blocked) attacking left; Penguins 18 shots on goal (2 goals, 11 missed, 18 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Penguins took 50.5% of the shot attempts, and 53.7% of the 67 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 Penguins and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Flyers hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
