shots on goal

Attacks on net

Shots on goal is a hockey and soccer statistic counting attempts that would have scored if not stopped by the goalkeeper.

A shot that misses the net or hits the post doesn't count.

The metric measures offensive pressure: They outshot their opponents but couldn't convert.

A player's shots on goal indicates scoring threat; a goalie's saves are measured against them.
