Alex Ovechkin
01/Where he scores from
Ovechkin scored 27 regular season goals on 382 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 9/27 · 33% of his goals came from here, on 71/382 · 19% of his attempts — 9/71 · 13% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 12/27 · 44% of his goals came from here, on 126/382 · 33% of his attempts — 12/126 · 10% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 3/27 · 11% of his goals came from here, on 147/382 · 38% of his attempts — 3/147 · 2% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 3/27 · 11% of his goals came from here, on 38/382 · 10% of his attempts — 3/38 · 8% of what he sent from there went in.
Unblocked attempts — shots on goal, goals and misses — taken in the offensive zone, 2025-26. Clubs change ends each period, so every attempt is rotated into one zone; the shooter’s left is the left of the frame. Blocked attempts are not plotted, and neither is anything taken from the neutral or defensive zone — which is where 5 of his goals in this window came from, empty nets and long range. This is a record of what happened, not a forecast: nothing here is claimed to repeat.
Ovechkin scored 98 regular season goals on 1,105 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is left circle, 37 ft out: 21/98 · 21% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 5% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 30/98 · 31% of his goals came from here, on 181/1,105 · 16% of his attempts — 30/181 · 17% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 37/98 · 38% of his goals came from here, on 351/1,105 · 32% of his attempts — 37/351 · 11% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 22/98 · 22% of his goals came from here, on 460/1,105 · 42% of his attempts — 22/460 · 5% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 9/98 · 9% of his goals came from here, on 113/1,105 · 10% of his attempts — 9/113 · 8% of what he sent from there went in.
Ovechkin scored 5 playoff goals on 61 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 1 of his 5 goals came from here, on 12 of his 61 attempts.
Slot. 2 of his 5 goals came from here, on 22 of his 61 attempts.
Perimeter. 2 of his 5 goals came from here, on 21 of his 61 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 5 goals came from here, on 6 of his 61 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 61 shots moves by more than a point on one bounce, and printing it would give the sample an authority it has not earned.

02/When his goals came
18 of his 32 goals came in the 3rd period, on 91 shots. That is a record of last season, not a description of the player: which period a skater scores in does not carry from one year to the next.
