Brett Howden
01/Where he scores from
Howden scored 12 regular season goals on 98 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. 9 of them came from inside nine feet of one point — left post, 12 ft out.
Doorstep. 7 of his 12 goals came from here, on 40 of his 98 attempts.
Slot. 4 of his 12 goals came from here, on 40 of his 98 attempts.
Perimeter. 1 of his 12 goals came from here, on 16 of his 98 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 12 goals came from here, on 2 of his 98 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 98 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, 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 12 goals came in the 1st period, on 21 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.
