Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canadiens attack left, Hurricanes attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: MTL 12, CAR 26.

MTL in red CAR in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canadiens 12 shots on goal (2 goals, 6 missed, 20 blocked) attacking left; Hurricanes 26 shots on goal (3 goals, 21 missed, 21 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Hurricanes took 64.2% of the shot attempts, and 58.7% of the 92 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 Hurricanes and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Canadiens hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
