Frozen Tools: Success by shot type
Excerpt:
What we failed to address last week is that 54 percent of the total shots taken in the NHL are wrist shots (and even 51 percent of the shots coming from defensemen who we might expect to take more slap shots). From these data we also know that about 48 percent of the goals in the NHL in 2018-19 were scored from wrist shots (that makes sense as we see from the table above that some types of shots are more effective at converting than wrist shots). Given all of that it seems necessary to dive a little bit more into wrist shots in particular and see what we notice about the data.
To summarize briefly, wrist shots account for 54 percent of the total shots, 48 percent of the total goals, and have an NHL conversion rate of 8.82 percent.

I'd like to see Larkin shoot more, but I know he's trying his best, often with double coverage.
