William Nylander
01/Where he scores from
Nylander scored 29 regular season goals on 226 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the crease, 9 ft out: 16/29 · 55% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 30% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 16/29 · 55% of his goals came from here, on 61/226 · 27% of his attempts — 16/61 · 26% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 9/29 · 31% of his goals came from here, on 76/226 · 34% of his attempts — 9/76 · 12% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 3/29 · 10% of his goals came from here, on 64/226 · 28% of his attempts — 3/64 · 5% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 1/29 · 3% of his goals came from here, on 25/226 · 11% of his attempts — 1/25 · 4% of what he sent from there went in.
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.
Nylander scored 112 regular season goals on 981 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is left circle, 35 ft out: 14/112 · 13% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 6% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 41/112 · 37% of his goals came from here, on 217/981 · 22% of his attempts — 41/217 · 19% of what he sent from there went in.

Point. 4/112 · 4% of his goals came from here, on 69/981 · 7% of his attempts — 4/69 · 6% of what he sent from there went in.
Nylander scored 9 playoff goals on 67 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.

Perimeter. 2 of his 9 goals came from here, on 22 of his 67 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 9 goals came from here, on 5 of his 67 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 67 shots moves by more than a point on one bounce, and printing it would give the sample an authority it has not earned.

02/When his goals came
12 of his 30 goals came in the 3rd period, on 52 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.
