Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Lightning attack left, Rangers 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: TBL 24, NYR 25.

TBL in red NYR in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Lightning 24 shots on goal (1 goal, 15 missed, 24 blocked) attacking left; Rangers 25 shots on goal (5 goals, 11 missed, 16 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Lightning took 54.8% of the shot attempts, and 51.9% of the 81 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 Rangers and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Lightning hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
