Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Mammoth attack left, Golden Knights attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 2 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: UTA 33, VGK 31.

UTA in red VGK in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Mammoth 33 shots on goal (2 goals, 12 missed, 18 blocked) attacking left; Golden Knights 31 shots on goal (4 goals, 19 missed, 22 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Golden Knights took 53.3% of the shot attempts, and 56.4% of the 110 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 Golden Knights and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Mammoth hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
