Mikko Rantanen
01/Where he scores from
Rantanen scored 22 regular season goals on 211 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the crease, 6 ft out: 14/22 · 64% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 39% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 15/22 · 68% of his goals came from here, on 57/211 · 27% of his attempts — 15/57 · 26% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 6/22 · 27% of his goals came from here, on 102/211 · 48% of his attempts — 6/102 · 6% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 1/22 · 5% of his goals came from here, on 39/211 · 18% of his attempts — 1/39 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 0/22 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 13/211 · 6% of his attempts — 0/13 · 0% 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. This is a record of what happened, not a forecast: nothing here is claimed to repeat.
Rantanen scored 90 regular season goals on 915 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is right circle, 25 ft out: 21/90 · 23% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 4% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 37/90 · 41% of his goals came from here, on 249/915 · 27% of his attempts — 37/249 · 15% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 38/90 · 42% of his goals came from here, on 431/915 · 47% of his attempts — 38/431 · 9% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 12/90 · 13% of his goals came from here, on 178/915 · 19% of his attempts — 12/178 · 7% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 3/90 · 3% of his goals came from here, on 57/915 · 6% of his attempts — 3/57 · 5% of what he sent from there went in.
Rantanen scored 14 playoff goals on 136 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. 4 of them came from inside nine feet of one point — the slot, 18 ft out.
Doorstep. 4 of his 14 goals came from here, on 35 of his 136 attempts.
Slot. 8 of his 14 goals came from here, on 58 of his 136 attempts.
Perimeter. 2 of his 14 goals came from here, on 36 of his 136 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 14 goals came from here, on 7 of his 136 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 136 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, 2023-24 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 6 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
16 of his 22 goals came in the 3rd period, on 47 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.
