Nick Bjugstad
01/Where he scores from
Bjugstad scored 6 regular season goals on 112 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 2 of his 6 goals came from here, on 29 of his 112 attempts.
Slot. 4 of his 6 goals came from here, on 42 of his 112 attempts.
Perimeter. 0 of his 6 goals came from here, on 36 of his 112 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 6 goals came from here, on 5 of his 112 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 112 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.
Bjugstad scored 35 regular season goals on 502 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is right circle, 29 ft out: 7/35 · 20% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 7% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
