from Jonathan Willis of The Athletic,
There have been 5,613 goals scored in the NHL this season. The league’s players have shot the puck at the net 106,246 and succeeded in putting it on goal 58,951 times. On average, it takes 19 attempts or 10.5 actual shots, to create a single goal....
While there’s still time for anyone on this list to crack their personal goose egg on the scoresheet this season, don’t expect them to magically start lighting the lamp on a regular basis.
Justin Abdelkader, Red Wings – 69 shot attempts, 3.
