01/Where he scores from
Werenski scored 22 regular season goals on 376 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is right circle, 33 ft out: 6/22 · 27% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 7% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 1/22 · 5% of his goals came from here, on 13/376 · 3% of his attempts — 1/13 · 8% 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. This is a record of what happened, not a forecast: nothing here is claimed to repeat.
Werenski scored 55 regular season goals on 1,072 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is right circle, 37 ft out: 9/55 · 16% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 3% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

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 — 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 107 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
10 of his 22 goals came in the 2nd period, on 100 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.
