Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Sabres attack left, Canadiens attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 4 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: BUF 16, MTL 38.

BUF in red MTL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Sabres 16 shots on goal (3 goals, 10 missed, 16 blocked) attacking left; Canadiens 38 shots on goal (3 goals, 10 missed, 9 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canadiens took 57.6% of the shot attempts, and 54.7% of the 75 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 Sabres hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
