Unblocked attempts — shots on goal, goals and misses — taken in the offensive zone, 2025-26. Clubs change ends each period, so every attempt is rotated into one zone; the shooter’s left is the left of the frame. Blocked attempts are not plotted, and neither is anything taken from the neutral or defensive zone. This is a record of what happened, not a forecast: nothing here is claimed to repeat.

6 of his 11 goals came in the 3rd period, on 35 shots. That is a record of last season, not a description of the player: which period a skater scores in does not carry from one year to the next.
