Jiri Kulich
01/Where he scores from
29 located attempts over 2025-26 — too few shots to map. The four counts are the whole of what this sample supports; a rink drawn from them would read as a pattern that is not there. A wider window may carry the graphic.
Kulich scored 18 regular season goals on 225 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the slot, 15 ft out: 7/18 · 39% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 26% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 5/18 · 28% of his goals came from here, on 42/225 · 19% of his attempts — 5/42 · 12% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 12/18 · 67% of his goals came from here, on 98/225 · 44% of his attempts — 12/98 · 12% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 1/18 · 6% of his goals came from here, on 72/225 · 32% of his attempts — 1/72 · 1% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 0/18 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 13/225 · 6% of his attempts — 0/13 · 0% 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. This is a record of what happened, not a forecast: nothing here is claimed to repeat.
02/When his goals came
1 of his 3 goals came in the 1st period, on 8 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.

Every split prints its own denominator. Any split under eight games is greyed rather than hidden, so the edge of the sample is visible instead of guessed at.
