Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Lightning attack left, Golden Knights 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: TBL 21, VGK 34.

TBL in red VGK in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Lightning 21 shots on goal (6 goals, 17 missed, 18 blocked) attacking left; Golden Knights 34 shots on goal (2 goals, 15 missed, 13 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Golden Knights took 52.5% of the shot attempts, and 49.5% of the 93 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 Golden Knights and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Lightning hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
