How the game went

The gap in shot attempts as the game went on: how many more one team had taken than the other. The line is above the middle and red while St. Louis Blues had taken more, and below it and blue while Boston Bruins had.

Expected goals

Boston Bruins: 1.3 expected, 1 scored · St. Louis Blues: 2.0 expected, 2 scored

Each line climbs with every chance a team had: a small step for a shot from far out, a big one for a dangerous chance. A dot is a goal. Expected goals adds up how likely each shot was to go in, judged by where it was taken from, what kind of shot it was and whether it was a rebound. Blocked shots and the shootout are not counted. Before 2023-24 the NHL timed events less exactly, and differently from rink to rink, so expected goals for this season are rougher than for recent ones.

Players

xG is the expected goals of a skater's own shots. CF-CA and xGF-xGA are the shot attempts and the expected goals for and against while he was on the ice at five-on-five. For a goalie, xGA is what the shots he faced were expected to produce, and the last column is how many of those he saved. What these numbers mean
