Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Golden Knights attack left, Mammoth 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. Boxscore shots on goal: VGK 36, UTA 31.

VGK in red UTA in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Golden Knights 36 shots on goal (5 goals, 26 missed, 22 blocked) attacking left; Mammoth 31 shots on goal (4 goals, 14 missed, 23 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Golden Knights took 55.3% of the shot attempts, and 53.1% of the 130 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 Mammoth and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Golden Knights hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
