Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Hurricanes attack left, Canadiens 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: CAR 34, MTL 20.

CAR in red MTL in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Hurricanes 34 shots on goal (6 goals, 15 missed, 19 blocked) attacking left; Canadiens 20 shots on goal (4 goals, 9 missed, 9 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Hurricanes took 64.2% of the shot attempts, and 71.6% of the 74 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 Canadiens 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
