VALERI NICHUSHKIN: SHOOTOUT RECORD

Valeri Nichushkin scored on 6 of his 12 shootout attempts from 2023-24 to 2025-26, 50.0%. The league scored on 31.7% of its 1,940. Shrunk toward the league, his rate is 38.6%, 17th of the 117 shooters with seven or more attempts.

HIS MOVES

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 Colorado Avalanche.

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.
