Cizikas scored 8 regular season goals on 121 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.

Doorstep. 6 of his 8 goals came from here, on 55 of his 121 attempts.

Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 121 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 — which is where 2 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.
