Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Penguins attack left, Capitals attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: PIT 30, WSH 27.

PIT in red WSH in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Penguins 30 shots on goal (3 goals, 12 missed, 18 blocked) attacking left; Capitals 27 shots on goal (5 goals, 18 missed, 20 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Capitals took 52.0% of the shot attempts, and 51.1% of the 92 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 Capitals and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Penguins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
