Brent Burns
01/Where he scores from
Burns scored 12 regular season goals on 256 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the high slot, 36 ft out: 4/12 · 33% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 6% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 0/12 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 7/256 · 3% of his attempts — 0/7 · 0% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 2/12 · 17% of his goals came from here, on 16/256 · 6% of his attempts — 2/16 · 13% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 5/12 · 42% of his goals came from here, on 88/256 · 34% of his attempts — 5/88 · 6% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 5/12 · 42% of his goals came from here, on 145/256 · 57% of his attempts — 5/145 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
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.
Burns scored 27 regular season goals on 800 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is right circle, 36 ft out: 5/27 · 19% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 6% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 3/27 · 11% of his goals came from here, on 17/800 · 2% of his attempts — 3/17 · 18% of what he sent from there went in.

Perimeter. 9/27 · 33% of his goals came from here, on 265/800 · 33% of his attempts — 9/265 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 10/27 · 37% of his goals came from here, on 446/800 · 56% of his attempts — 10/446 · 2% of what he sent from there went in.
Burns scored 2 playoff goals on 113 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 0 of his 2 goals came from here, on 0 of his 113 attempts.
Slot. 0 of his 2 goals came from here, on 5 of his 113 attempts.
Perimeter. 2 of his 2 goals came from here, on 32 of his 113 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 2 goals came from here, on 76 of his 113 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 113 shots moves by more than a point on one bounce, and printing it would give the sample an authority it has not earned.
Unblocked attempts — shots on goal, goals and misses — taken in the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 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 — which is where 1 of his goals in this window came from, empty nets and long range. This is a record of what happened, not a forecast: nothing here is claimed to repeat.

02/When his goals came
6 of his 12 goals came in the 1st period, on 72 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.
