01/Where he scores from
Hischier scored 28 regular season goals on 297 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the crease, 5 ft out: 11/28 · 39% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 19% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 14/28 · 50% of his goals came from here, on 107/297 · 36% of his attempts — 14/107 · 13% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 11/28 · 39% of his goals came from here, on 130/297 · 44% of his attempts — 11/130 · 8% 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.
Hischier scored 88 regular season goals on 809 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the crease, 6 ft out: 30/88 · 34% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 19% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 40/88 · 45% of his goals came from here, on 319/809 · 39% of his attempts — 40/319 · 13% of what he sent from there went in.

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 2 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.
Hischier scored 194 regular season goals on 2,026 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2017-18 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the doorstep, 12 ft out: 83/194 · 43% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 30% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

Slot. 2 of his 6 goals came from here, on 28 of his 81 attempts.
Perimeter. 1 of his 6 goals came from here, on 17 of his 81 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 6 goals came from here, on 2 of his 81 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 81 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, 2017-18 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 5 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
9 of his 28 goals came in the 1st period, on 75 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.
