Sam Bennett
01/Where he scores from
Bennett scored 26 regular season goals on 297 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is left circle, 36 ft out: 5/26 · 19% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 6% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 13/26 · 50% of his goals came from here, on 99/297 · 33% of his attempts — 13/99 · 13% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 12/26 · 46% of his goals came from here, on 126/297 · 42% of his attempts — 12/126 · 10% 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.

Unblocked attempts — shots on goal, goals and misses — taken in the offensive zone, 2014-15 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 1 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
11 of his 26 goals came in the 3rd period, on 67 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.
