Mattias Ekholm
01/Where he scores from
Ekholm scored 5 regular season goals on 187 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 1/5 · 20% of his goals came from here, on 19/187 · 10% of his attempts — 1/19 · 5% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 3/5 · 60% of his goals came from here, on 36/187 · 19% of his attempts — 3/36 · 8% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 0/5 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 67/187 · 36% of his attempts — 0/67 · 0% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 1/5 · 20% of his goals came from here, on 65/187 · 35% of his attempts — 1/65 · 2% 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 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.
Ekholm scored 24 regular season goals on 613 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the high slot, 31 ft out: 4/24 · 17% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 6% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 6/24 · 25% of his goals came from here, on 51/613 · 8% of his attempts — 6/51 · 12% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 10/24 · 42% of his goals came from here, on 113/613 · 18% of his attempts — 10/113 · 9% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 4/24 · 17% of his goals came from here, on 213/613 · 35% of his attempts — 4/213 · 2% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 4/24 · 17% of his goals came from here, on 236/613 · 38% of his attempts — 4/236 · 2% of what he sent from there went in.
Ekholm scored 5 playoff goals on 90 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 1 of his 5 goals came from here, on 7 of his 90 attempts.
Slot. 2 of his 5 goals came from here, on 15 of his 90 attempts.
Perimeter. 1 of his 5 goals came from here, on 23 of his 90 attempts.
Point. 1 of his 5 goals came from here, on 45 of his 90 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 90 shots moves by more than a point on one bounce, and printing it would give the sample an authority it has not earned.

02/When his goals came
4 of his 6 goals came in the 2nd period, on 43 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.
