Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Wild attack left, Stars attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 4 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: MIN 30, DAL 32.

MIN in red DAL in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Wild 30 shots on goal (2 goals, 13 missed, 14 blocked) attacking left; Stars 32 shots on goal (4 goals, 15 missed, 19 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Stars took 53.7% of the shot attempts, and 58.2% of the 91 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 Stars and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Wild hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
