Shots
full sheet — away attacking left, home attacking right
CAR ● 1G ● 29 SOG · 3.91 xG
BUF ● 4G ● 17 SOG · 3.15 xG
Every unblocked attempt, each team attacking the net it shot on; dot size scales with xG. Teams switch ends between periods, so shots are rotated onto one sheet rather than plotted where they physically happened. Blocked shots are recorded at the block, not the shot origin, so they sit short of the net — off by default.
