Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blues attack left, Avalanche 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: STL 26, COL 36.

STL in red COL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Blues 26 shots on goal (1 goal, 12 missed, 17 blocked) attacking left; Avalanche 36 shots on goal (6 goals, 13 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Avalanche took 54.5% of the shot attempts, and 52.4% of the 105 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 Avalanche and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Blues hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
