Bryan Rust
01/Where he scores from
Rust scored 29 regular season goals on 289 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the doorstep, 9 ft out: 13/29 · 45% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 31% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 11/29 · 38% of his goals came from here, on 100/289 · 35% of his attempts — 11/100 · 11% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 16/29 · 55% of his goals came from here, on 120/289 · 42% of his attempts — 16/120 · 13% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 2/29 · 7% of his goals came from here, on 61/289 · 21% of his attempts — 2/61 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 0/29 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 8/289 · 3% of his attempts — 0/8 · 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. This is a record of what happened, not a forecast: nothing here is claimed to repeat.
Rust scored 83 regular season goals on 833 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the crease, 8 ft out: 28/83 · 34% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 19% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

02/When his goals came
14 of his 29 goals came in the 3rd period, on 60 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.
