Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Golden Knights attack left, Ducks attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 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 21, ANA 32.

VGK in red ANA in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Golden Knights 21 shots on goal (5 goals, 16 missed, 13 blocked) attacking left; Ducks 32 shots on goal (1 goal, 24 missed, 14 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Ducks took 58.3% of the shot attempts, and 54.6% of the 86 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 Ducks 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
