Sammy Blais
01/Where he scores from
23 located attempts over 2025-26 — too few shots to map. The four counts are the whole of what this sample supports; a rink drawn from them would read as a pattern that is not there. A wider window may carry the graphic.
Blais scored 4 regular season goals on 68 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 3 of his 4 goals came from here, on 32 of his 68 attempts.
Slot. 0 of his 4 goals came from here, on 20 of his 68 attempts.
Perimeter. 1 of his 4 goals came from here, on 15 of his 68 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 4 goals came from here, on 1 of his 68 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 68 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, 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. This is a record of what happened, not a forecast: nothing here is claimed to repeat.
Blais scored 30 regular season goals on 358 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2017-18 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the doorstep, 11 ft out: 17/30 · 57% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 36% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 16/30 · 53% of his goals came from here, on 126/358 · 35% of his attempts — 16/126 · 13% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 12/30 · 40% of his goals came from here, on 163/358 · 46% of his attempts — 12/163 · 7% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 2/30 · 7% of his goals came from here, on 58/358 · 16% of his attempts — 2/58 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 0/30 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 11/358 · 3% of his attempts — 0/11 · 0% of what he sent from there went in.

02/When his goals came
2 of his 3 goals came in the 2nd period, on 8 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.
