Doorstep. 0/12 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 7/151 · 5% of his attempts — 0/7 · 0% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 5/12 · 42% of his goals came from here, on 29/151 · 19% of his attempts — 5/29 · 17% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 5/12 · 42% of his goals came from here, on 69/151 · 46% of his attempts — 5/69 · 7% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 2/12 · 17% of his goals came from here, on 46/151 · 30% of his attempts — 2/46 · 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 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.

02/When his goals came
5 of his 13 goals came in the 2nd period, on 30 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.
