Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Avalanche attack left, Wild attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 5 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: COL 36, MIN 26.

COL in red MIN in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Avalanche 36 shots on goal (1 goal, 23 missed, 17 blocked) attacking left; Wild 26 shots on goal (5 goals, 20 missed, 9 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Avalanche took 58.0% of the shot attempts, and 56.7% of the 90 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 Avalanche hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
