Brock Nelson
01/Where he scores from
Nelson scored 32 regular season goals on 265 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the slot, 23 ft out: 8/32 · 25% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 10% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 12/32 · 38% of his goals came from here, on 94/265 · 35% of his attempts — 12/94 · 13% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 16/32 · 50% of his goals came from here, on 130/265 · 49% of his attempts — 16/130 · 12% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 4/32 · 13% of his goals came from here, on 39/265 · 15% of his attempts — 4/39 · 10% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 0/32 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 2/265 · 1% of his attempts — 0/2 · 0% 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 — 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.
Nelson scored 92 regular season goals on 869 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the slot, 20 ft out: 21/92 · 23% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 13% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 32/92 · 35% of his goals came from here, on 251/869 · 29% of his attempts — 32/251 · 13% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 53/92 · 58% of his goals came from here, on 436/869 · 50% of his attempts — 53/436 · 12% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 6/92 · 7% of his goals came from here, on 163/869 · 19% of his attempts — 6/163 · 4% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 1/92 · 1% of his goals came from here, on 19/869 · 2% of his attempts — 1/19 · 5% of what he sent from there went in.
Nelson scored 3 playoff goals on 67 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 1 of his 3 goals came from here, on 18 of his 67 attempts.
Slot. 1 of his 3 goals came from here, on 30 of his 67 attempts.
Perimeter. 0 of his 3 goals came from here, on 13 of his 67 attempts.
Point. 1 of his 3 goals came from here, on 6 of his 67 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 67 shots moves by more than a point on one bounce, and printing it would give the sample an authority it has not earned.

02/When his goals came
13 of his 33 goals came in the 1st period, on 70 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.
