Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canadiens attack left, Capitals 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: MTL 30, WSH 23.

MTL in red WSH in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canadiens 30 shots on goal (4 goals, 20 missed, 18 blocked) attacking left; Capitals 23 shots on goal (5 goals, 17 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canadiens took 56.7% of the shot attempts, and 61.4% of the 88 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 Canadiens hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
