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 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: VGK 26, UTA 23.

VGK in red UTA in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Golden Knights 26 shots on goal (5 goals, 15 missed, 15 blocked) attacking left; Mammoth 23 shots on goal (1 goal, 23 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Mammoth took 52.9% of the shot attempts, and 51.5% of the 97 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
