John Tavares
01/Where he scores from
Tavares scored 30 regular season goals on 298 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the doorstep, 9 ft out: 18/30 · 60% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 34% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 16/30 · 53% of his goals came from here, on 138/298 · 46% of his attempts — 16/138 · 12% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 13/30 · 43% of his goals came from here, on 120/298 · 40% of his attempts — 13/120 · 11% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 1/30 · 3% of his goals came from here, on 34/298 · 11% of his attempts — 1/34 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 0/30 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 6/298 · 2% of his attempts — 0/6 · 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.
Tavares scored 94 regular season goals on 952 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the doorstep, 10 ft out: 43/94 · 46% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 34% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 45/94 · 48% of his goals came from here, on 421/952 · 44% of his attempts — 45/421 · 11% of what he sent from there went in.

Tavares scored 6 playoff goals on 83 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 3 of his 6 goals came from here, on 29 of his 83 attempts.

Perimeter. 1 of his 6 goals came from here, on 17 of his 83 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 6 goals came from here, on 2 of his 83 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 83 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
13 of his 31 goals came in the 2nd period, on 70 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.
