Several NHL players have faced early-season struggles in the 2026–2027 season, with poor scoring despite generating chances. Timo Meier of the New Jersey Devils has one goal on 43 shots through 10 games, while his shooting percentage sits at 2.3 percent, well below his career average. Ivan Dorofeyev, now with the New York Rangers, has two goals on 37 shots through 12 games, with his shooting percentage dropping from 16.1 percent to 5.4 percent. Conor Garland of the Columbus Blue Jackets has been pointless in eight games, with seven shots and frequent line changes affecting his role. Jordan Staal of the Carolina Hurricanes went scoreless in his first six games before suffering a calf injury that will keep him out for one to two months. Oliver Ekman-Larsson of the Toronto Maple Leafs has one assist and no goals in 12 games, with reduced power-play time.
