Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Stars attack left, Predators 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: DAL 30, NSH 26.

DAL in red NSH in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Stars 30 shots on goal (1 goal, 17 missed, 18 blocked) attacking left; Predators 26 shots on goal (2 goals, 13 missed, 13 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Stars took 55.6% of the shot attempts, and 54.4% of the 103 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 Predators and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Stars hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
