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 Nashville Predators had taken more, and below it and blue while Minnesota Wild had.

Expected goals

Minnesota Wild: 3.4 expected, 3 scored · Nashville Predators: 1.8 expected, 1 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.

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
