Mike Matheson
01/Where he scores from
Matheson scored 6 regular season goals on 152 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 1/6 · 17% of his goals came from here, on 10/152 · 7% of his attempts — 1/10 · 10% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 2/6 · 33% of his goals came from here, on 23/152 · 15% of his attempts — 2/23 · 9% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 2/6 · 33% of his goals came from here, on 37/152 · 24% of his attempts — 2/37 · 5% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 1/6 · 17% of his goals came from here, on 82/152 · 54% of his attempts — 1/82 · 1% 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.
Matheson scored 22 regular season goals on 593 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the point, 44 ft out: 5/22 · 23% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 3% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

Doorstep. 0 of his 3 goals came from here, on 3 of his 98 attempts.
Slot. 0 of his 3 goals came from here, on 17 of his 98 attempts.
Perimeter. 1 of his 3 goals came from here, on 35 of his 98 attempts.
Point. 2 of his 3 goals came from here, on 43 of his 98 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 98 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, 2015-16 to 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 4 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
4 of his 7 goals came in the 3rd 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.
