Pavel Zacha
01/Where he scores from
Zacha scored 30 regular season goals on 198 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the doorstep, 9 ft out: 14/30 · 47% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 27% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 16/30 · 53% of his goals came from here, on 78/198 · 39% of his attempts — 16/78 · 21% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 13/30 · 43% of his goals came from here, on 88/198 · 44% of his attempts — 13/88 · 15% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 1/30 · 3% of his goals came from here, on 29/198 · 15% of his attempts — 1/29 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 0/30 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 3/198 · 2% of his attempts — 0/3 · 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.
Zacha scored 63 regular season goals on 599 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the doorstep, 11 ft out: 29/63 · 46% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 27% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

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.
Zacha scored 153 regular season goals on 1,655 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2015-16 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the slot, 21 ft out: 31/153 · 20% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 12% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 78 shots moves by more than a point on one bounce, and printing it would give the sample an authority it has not earned.

02/When his goals came
10 of his 30 goals came in the 1st period, on 52 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.

Every split prints its own denominator. Any split under eight games is greyed rather than hidden, so the edge of the sample is visible instead of guessed at.
