Oilers vs Kings: Shot Attempts per 60

The Oilers clinched their Round 1 series last night after beating the Kings in a 5-4 back-and-forth battle. The Oilers outscored the Kings in the series 25-20, outshot the Kings 212-201 SOG, and 19 more shot attempts. That slight edge in both columns for Edmonton came from their top 9 forwards getting as many shots on net as possible when on the ice.

Shots on Goal per 60 is calculated by taking a player's shots on goal and dividing it by their total TOI (minutes) and then multiplying that figure by 60.
