Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 98 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.

Palmieri scored 59 regular season goals on 676 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the crease, 6 ft out: 25/59 · 42% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 26% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

3 of his 6 goals came in the 3rd period, on 23 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.
