Slot. 5/15 · 33% of his goals came from here, on 55/178 · 31% of his attempts — 5/55 · 9% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 1/15 · 7% of his goals came from here, on 39/178 · 22% of his attempts — 1/39 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 0/15 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 2/178 · 1% of his attempts — 0/2 · 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. This is a record of what happened, not a forecast: nothing here is claimed to repeat.
Karlsson scored 18 regular season goals on 227 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the crease, 6 ft out: 11/18 · 61% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 25% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

02/When his goals came
8 of his 15 goals came in the 1st period, on 48 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.
