THE OFFICEthe slot, 16 ft

Wennberg scored 18 regular season goals on 123 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. 7 of them came from inside nine feet of one point — the slot, 16 ft out.

Doorstep. 10 of his 18 goals came from here, on 63 of his 123 attempts.

Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 123 shots moves by more than a point on one bounce, and printing it would give the sample an authority it has not earned.

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. This is a record of what happened, not a forecast: nothing here is claimed to repeat.

Wennberg scored 38 regular season goals on 349 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the doorstep, 10 ft out: 16/38 · 42% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 27% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

Unblocked attempts — shots on goal, goals and misses — taken in the offensive zone, 2014-15 to 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 3 of his goals in this window came from, empty nets and long range.

7 of his 18 goals came in the 2nd period, on 33 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.
