Ross Colton
01/Where he scores from
Colton scored 7 regular season goals on 228 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 3/7 · 43% of his goals came from here, on 50/228 · 22% of his attempts — 3/50 · 6% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 3/7 · 43% of his goals came from here, on 90/228 · 39% of his attempts — 3/90 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 0/7 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 73/228 · 32% of his attempts — 0/73 · 0% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 1/7 · 14% of his goals came from here, on 15/228 · 7% of his attempts — 1/15 · 7% 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 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.
Colton scored 37 regular season goals on 657 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the slot, 15 ft out: 16/37 · 43% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 26% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 17/37 · 46% of his goals came from here, on 189/657 · 29% of his attempts — 17/189 · 9% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 16/37 · 43% of his goals came from here, on 254/657 · 39% of his attempts — 16/254 · 6% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 3/37 · 8% of his goals came from here, on 183/657 · 28% of his attempts — 3/183 · 2% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 1/37 · 3% of his goals came from here, on 31/657 · 5% of his attempts — 1/31 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
Colton scored 3 playoff goals on 53 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 2 of his 3 goals came from here, on 20 of his 53 attempts.
Slot. 1 of his 3 goals came from here, on 15 of his 53 attempts.
Perimeter. 0 of his 3 goals came from here, on 15 of his 53 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 3 goals came from here, on 3 of his 53 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 53 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
3 of his 9 goals came in the 1st period, on 43 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.
