Mathew Barzal
01/Where he scores from
Barzal scored 17 regular season goals on 272 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the slot, 15 ft out: 6/17 · 35% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 20% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 6/17 · 35% of his goals came from here, on 63/272 · 23% of his attempts — 6/63 · 10% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 9/17 · 53% of his goals came from here, on 91/272 · 33% of his attempts — 9/91 · 10% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 1/17 · 6% of his goals came from here, on 95/272 · 35% of his attempts — 1/95 · 1% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 1/17 · 6% of his goals came from here, on 23/272 · 8% of his attempts — 1/23 · 4% 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 2 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.
