Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Stars attack left, Avalanche attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so a mark in a team's own end would be an attempt logged from there (none in this game). Boxscore shots on goal: DAL 22, COL 27.

DAL in red COL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Stars 22 shots on goal (2 goals, 10 missed, 17 blocked) attacking left; Avalanche 27 shots on goal (2 goals, 14 missed, 22 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Avalanche took 56.3% of the shot attempts, and 56.8% of the 95 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 Avalanche and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Stars hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
