Name the NHL game from who carried the play.

Three NHL seasons, every game. Goals are too rare to draw a shape — a typical game has six — so Huezle colours by shot attempts instead, about 150 a game, kept as a running total.

A strip that drifts steadily jade is a home team that owned the puck. One that swings back and forth was an even game, whatever the score said.

What one band is. One band is one minute of the game. Violet means the away team had taken more shot attempts so far, jade means the home team had. It is who carried the play, not the score.

How to read it

Three things to look for.

You do not need to remember the data. You need to know what kind of shape the thing you are thinking of would make.

  • Count to 65.Regulation is 60 bands. 65 means it went to overtime.
  • Read the trend.The running total moves slowly, so look at the direction of the strip rather than single bands.
  • Away first.Options read "away vs. home", so violet belongs to the first team named.

Why shot attempts and not goals?

Goals are too rare to make a shape: tested on real games, goal-margin strips sat flat for half the game and many looked identical.

Which seasons are included?

2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 — 3,936 games and all 32 teams.
