Cole Caufield
01/Where he scores from
Caufield scored 51 regular season goals on 379 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is left post, 10 ft out: 14/51 · 27% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 16% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 16/51 · 31% of his goals came from here, on 104/379 · 27% of his attempts — 16/104 · 15% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 31/51 · 61% of his goals came from here, on 186/379 · 49% of his attempts — 31/186 · 17% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 4/51 · 8% of his goals came from here, on 80/379 · 21% of his attempts — 4/80 · 5% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 0/51 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 9/379 · 2% of his attempts — 0/9 · 0% of what he sent from there went in.
Caufield scored 6 playoff goals on 61 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 5 of his 6 goals came from here, on 16 of his 61 attempts.
Slot. 1 of his 6 goals came from here, on 27 of his 61 attempts.
Perimeter. 0 of his 6 goals came from here, on 15 of his 61 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 6 goals came from here, on 3 of his 61 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 61 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.

02/When his goals came
