Riemsdyk scored 15 regular season goals on 160 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the crease, 7 ft out: 12/15 · 80% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 29% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

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.

Unblocked attempts — shots on goal, goals and misses — taken in the offensive zone, 2010-11 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. This is a record of what happened, not a forecast: nothing here is claimed to repeat.
02/When his goals came
7 of his 15 goals came in the 2nd period, on 38 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.
