Nick Cousins
01/Where he scores from
Cousins scored 9 regular season goals on 100 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. 7 of them came from inside nine feet of one point — the crease, 5 ft out.
Doorstep. 7 of his 9 goals came from here, on 42 of his 100 attempts.
Slot. 2 of his 9 goals came from here, on 22 of his 100 attempts.
Perimeter. 0 of his 9 goals came from here, on 29 of his 100 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 9 goals came from here, on 7 of his 100 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 100 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.
Cousins scored 22 regular season goals on 327 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the slot, 22 ft out: 7/22 · 32% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 10% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

02/When his goals came
6 of his 9 goals came in the 2nd period, on 26 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.
