Evgeni Malkin
01/Where he scores from
Malkin scored 18 regular season goals on 194 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is right post, 7 ft out: 7/18 · 39% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 12% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 10/18 · 56% of his goals came from here, on 64/194 · 33% of his attempts — 10/64 · 16% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 3/18 · 17% of his goals came from here, on 68/194 · 35% of his attempts — 3/68 · 4% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 5/18 · 28% of his goals came from here, on 46/194 · 24% of his attempts — 5/46 · 11% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 0/18 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 16/194 · 8% of his attempts — 0/16 · 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.
