Darnell Nurse
01/Where he scores from
Nurse scored 7 regular season goals on 227 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 1/7 · 14% of his goals came from here, on 11/227 · 5% of his attempts — 1/11 · 9% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 4/7 · 57% of his goals came from here, on 31/227 · 14% of his attempts — 4/31 · 13% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 1/7 · 14% of his goals came from here, on 92/227 · 41% of his attempts — 1/92 · 1% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 1/7 · 14% of his goals came from here, on 93/227 · 41% of his attempts — 1/93 · 1% 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.
Nurse scored 22 regular season goals on 695 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.

Perimeter. 5/22 · 23% of his goals came from here, on 264/695 · 38% of his attempts — 5/264 · 2% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 4/22 · 18% of his goals came from here, on 288/695 · 41% of his attempts — 4/288 · 1% of what he sent from there went in.
Nurse scored 4 playoff goals on 132 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.

Perimeter. 2 of his 4 goals came from here, on 57 of his 132 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 4 goals came from here, on 49 of his 132 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 132 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, 2014-15 to 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 3 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.
02/When his goals came
3 of his 7 goals came in the 1st period, on 47 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.
