Jordan Staal
01/Where he scores from
Staal scored 20 regular season goals on 176 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is right post, 11 ft out: 10/20 · 50% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 22% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 13/20 · 65% of his goals came from here, on 71/176 · 40% of his attempts — 13/71 · 18% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 7/20 · 35% of his goals came from here, on 74/176 · 42% of his attempts — 7/74 · 9% of what he sent from there went in.

Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 57 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.
Staal scored 43 regular season goals on 502 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the doorstep, 10 ft out: 26/43 · 60% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 35% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

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 6 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
8 of his 20 goals came in the 1st period, on 35 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.
