As the NHL's feed records the shot. It has no deke; OTHER is any other shot type, or an attempt that never got a shot off.

SEASONS with an attempt: 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26; his newest attempt was for the New Jersey Devils.

RATING ISN'T THE RECORD

A skater's rating in the game doesn't predict his shootout rate: across the 325 shooters the game rates, the two correlate at 0.007, next to nothing, over these three seasons.

IN THE DUEL

In the duel his shots start from this rate, times the goalie's factor; the move and the goalie's read move it from there.

FACE HIM IN THE DUEL

NJD @ DET, Apr 11, 2026, a real 2025-26 game: you coach the Detroit Red Wings, and he takes the New Jersey Devils' second shot.
