Schmaltz scored 33 regular season goals on 288 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the slot, 15 ft out: 18/33 · 55% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 17% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 14/33 · 42% of his goals came from here, on 90/288 · 31% of his attempts — 14/90 · 16% 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.

02/When his goals came
