Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canadiens attack left, Penguins attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 2 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: MTL 25, PIT 30.

MTL in red PIT in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canadiens 25 shots on goal (5 goals, 22 missed, 22 blocked) attacking left; Penguins 30 shots on goal (6 goals, 10 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canadiens took 57.0% of the shot attempts, and 60.0% of the 85 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 Penguins 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
