Auston Matthews
01/Where he scores from
Matthews scored 26 regular season goals on 322 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the crease, 8 ft out: 9/26 · 35% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 20% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 12/26 · 46% of his goals came from here, on 105/322 · 33% of his attempts — 12/105 · 11% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 12/26 · 46% of his goals came from here, on 136/322 · 42% of his attempts — 12/136 · 9% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 2/26 · 8% of his goals came from here, on 64/322 · 20% of his attempts — 2/64 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 0/26 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 17/322 · 5% of his attempts — 0/17 · 0% 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 1 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.
Matthews scored 125 regular season goals on 1,226 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is right post, 11 ft out: 36/125 · 29% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 17% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 48/125 · 38% of his goals came from here, on 373/1,226 · 30% of his attempts — 48/373 · 13% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 58/125 · 46% of his goals came from here, on 517/1,226 · 42% of his attempts — 58/517 · 11% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 17/125 · 14% of his goals came from here, on 269/1,226 · 22% of his attempts — 17/269 · 6% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 2/125 · 2% of his goals came from here, on 67/1,226 · 5% of his attempts — 2/67 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
Matthews scored 4 playoff goals on 101 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 2 of his 4 goals came from here, on 30 of his 101 attempts.
Slot. 1 of his 4 goals came from here, on 42 of his 101 attempts.
Perimeter. 1 of his 4 goals came from here, on 24 of his 101 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 4 goals came from here, on 5 of his 101 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 101 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
12 of his 27 goals came in the 2nd period, on 95 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.
