Matt Duchene
01/Where he scores from
Duchene scored 15 regular season goals on 128 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. 5 of them came from inside nine feet of one point — right post, 11 ft out.
Doorstep. 7 of his 15 goals came from here, on 51 of his 128 attempts.
Slot. 6 of his 15 goals came from here, on 54 of his 128 attempts.
Perimeter. 2 of his 15 goals came from here, on 22 of his 128 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 15 goals came from here, on 1 of his 128 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 128 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 — 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.
Duchene scored 69 regular season goals on 597 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is right circle, 18 ft out: 12/69 · 17% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 6% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
