Dakota Joshua
01/Where he scores from
Joshua scored 10 regular season goals on 77 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 4 of his 10 goals came from here, on 41 of his 77 attempts.
Slot. 6 of his 10 goals came from here, on 27 of his 77 attempts.
Perimeter. 0 of his 10 goals came from here, on 5 of his 77 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 10 goals came from here, on 4 of his 77 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 77 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.
Joshua scored 34 regular season goals on 274 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the crease, 6 ft out: 20/34 · 59% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 34% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

02/When his goals came
5 of his 10 goals came in the 1st period, on 16 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.
