David Perron
01/Where he scores from
Perron scored 13 regular season goals on 126 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 6 of his 13 goals came from here, on 38 of his 126 attempts.
Slot. 5 of his 13 goals came from here, on 51 of his 126 attempts.
Perimeter. 2 of his 13 goals came from here, on 32 of his 126 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 13 goals came from here, on 5 of his 126 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 126 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.
Perron scored 38 regular season goals on 419 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is left circle, 25 ft out: 8/38 · 21% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 9% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
