Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Hurricanes attack left, Canadiens attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so a mark in a team's own end would be an attempt logged from there (none in this game). Boxscore shots on goal: CAR 39, MTL 13.

CAR in red MTL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Hurricanes 39 shots on goal (3 goals, 18 missed, 35 blocked) attacking left; Canadiens 13 shots on goal (2 goals, 15 missed, 18 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Hurricanes took 66.7% of the shot attempts, and 62.2% of the 111 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 Canadiens and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Hurricanes hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
