Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Stars attack left, Wild 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; 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: DAL 23, MIN 21.

DAL in red MIN in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Stars 23 shots on goal (2 goals, 11 missed, 15 blocked) attacking left; Wild 21 shots on goal (5 goals, 15 missed, 14 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Wild took 50.5% of the shot attempts, and 48.1% of the 81 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 Wild and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Stars hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
