Who on your team can not buy a goal?

Thread starts and ends with Brendan Gaunce.

Thread starts and ends with Brendan Gaunce.

It started with Benden Leipsic though...

Just a thought I had, what players just can not seem to buy a goal.

For Vegas it has to Brenden Leipsic, the man does everything you could ask, gets in good position, gets shots on net, but just can't seem to beat the goalies.

Who else is there that has been playing really well but can't seem to score.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Andrew Cogliano - awesome player and great at his role but he just can't seem to buy a goal most nights.

 

[Rufus]

+1 on Byfuglien.

Also, how is Riley Sheahan doing this season? Is he even in the NHL?

Sheahan scored last night

 

[schnapshot]

On the Habs, Charles Hudon has 4 goals on 79 shots (5% shooting rate) and he has a bullet of a shot. Just not going in as much as it could.

 

[Pi]

Nylander and Marner's 5v5 ES SH% is due for a major regression to the mean. They are shooting like 2.5% on ES. I am surprised that the Leafs have so many goals despite Nylander and Marner not really contributing as much as they can.

 

[Bye Felicia]

Even though Tarasenko has 13 goals, he is shooting well below his norm (currently 10.7%; was 13.6%-14% the past three years) and hitting a ton of posts. Perhaps as a result, he has been pressing pretty hard the past several games and has missed a few open nets.

 

[NyQuil]

Everyone.

 

[TOGuy14]

Hyman.

The guy usually gets 1-2 clean breaks a game, plus a half dozen slot setups from Matthews but couldn't bury the puck into a wide open net if his life depending on it. He shoots like he has bricks for hands.

 

[Martinez]

Zetterberg hasn't scored in 21 games. Longest streak of his career without a goal

 

[Esq]

Duncan Keith.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Rick Nash

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

For the Lightning, it's gotta be Callahan. He works his butt off, creates great chances, is playing some good solid hockey except that the dang puck won't go in!

 

[Beautvillier]

Jason Chimera.

give chimera a penalty shot on an empty net and he'll miss.

 

[57special]

Koivu, Cullen

 

[Stive Morgan]

De la Rose (except for that random 3 point game he had)

Dude literally has no offensive upside

 

[doorbag]

Buff can't hit the net, he's not having bad luck.

Still with 69 shots this year you would think at least one would have gone in.

Brendan Gaunce
90GP, 1G, 106 Shots, 0.9 SH%

106 shots in 90 games, that's really bad.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Alex Iafallo, Tanner Pearson. Luckily both got one in the last couple of games or they were staring down the barrel of 1-2% shooting.

Iafallo often gets the third assist due to his relentless play, but it's shocking that he hasn't scored more. He has a killer shot and release, Quick talked about his release a lot during camp. I guess he hasn't gotten to demonstrate it off the rush much yet like he did last night. He still seems to be learning to get it off in traffic better.

Pearson's just been mostly snakebitten all year in comparison to last. He's gotten more breakaways than anyone on the team and he's hit posts, butt ends, and everything but the net for the most part.

this

feel so bad for both of them. iafallo just isn't getting shots and pearson is getting all the shots but getting stoned by backups playing out of their minds

 

[Thad Castle]

true. He might not fit the threads criteria but it seems like he can't score no matter how good the chance is.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Dylan Larkin. 3rd on the team in shots, 10th in goals. Shooting below 6%. Missed a ton of breakaways and grade A chances the last few weeks, along with some posts.

 

[Dreakon13]

Dunno if the stats support this, but I'd say Sam Reinhart or Kyle Okposo on the Sabres. Both guys seems to get to the right spots, but tend to bumble passes or miss the wide open net.
