Gustav Nyquist
01/Where he scores from
Nyquist scored 1 regular season goals on 84 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 0 of his 1 goals came from here, on 21 of his 84 attempts.
Slot. 1 of his 1 goals came from here, on 38 of his 84 attempts.
Perimeter. 0 of his 1 goals came from here, on 25 of his 84 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 1 goals came from here, on 0 of his 84 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 84 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.
Nyquist scored 29 regular season goals on 431 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the slot, 23 ft out: 8/29 · 28% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 12% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 12/29 · 41% of his goals came from here, on 121/431 · 28% of his attempts — 12/121 · 10% of what he sent from there went in.

Perimeter. 1/29 · 3% of his goals came from here, on 101/431 · 23% of his attempts — 1/101 · 1% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 2/29 · 7% of his goals came from here, on 29/431 · 7% of his attempts — 2/29 · 7% of what he sent from there went in.
Unblocked attempts — shots on goal, goals and misses — taken in the offensive zone, 2023-24 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 6 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
1 of his 1 goals came in the 3rd period, on 24 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.
