Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Hurricanes attack left, Golden Knights 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: CAR 33, VGK 35.

CAR in red VGK in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Hurricanes 33 shots on goal (4 goals, 24 missed, 32 blocked) attacking left; Golden Knights 35 shots on goal (5 goals, 23 missed, 16 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Hurricanes took 54.6% of the shot attempts, and 53.4% of the 146 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 Golden Knights 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
