Hughes scored 26 regular season goals on 304 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is left circle, 29 ft out: 6/26 · 23% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 8% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

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 1 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.

Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 60 shots moves by more than a point on one bounce, and printing it would give the sample an authority it has not earned.

12 of his 27 goals came in the 3rd period, on 66 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.
