Tage Thompson
01/Where he scores from
Thompson scored 39 regular season goals on 411 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the slot, 25 ft out: 9/39 · 23% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 11% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 10/39 · 26% of his goals came from here, on 80/411 · 19% of his attempts — 10/80 · 13% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 22/39 · 56% of his goals came from here, on 144/411 · 35% of his attempts — 22/144 · 15% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 4/39 · 10% of his goals came from here, on 147/411 · 36% of his attempts — 4/147 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 3/39 · 8% of his goals came from here, on 40/411 · 10% of his attempts — 3/40 · 8% of what he sent from there went in.
Thompson scored 3 playoff goals on 65 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 3 of his 3 goals came from here, on 17 of his 65 attempts.
Slot. 0 of his 3 goals came from here, on 16 of his 65 attempts.
Perimeter. 0 of his 3 goals came from here, on 29 of his 65 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 3 goals came from here, on 3 of his 65 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 65 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, 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.
Thompson scored 108 regular season goals on 1,090 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is left circle, 37 ft out: 15/108 · 14% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 4% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 33/108 · 31% of his goals came from here, on 180/1,090 · 17% of his attempts — 33/180 · 18% of what he sent from there went in.

02/When his goals came
18 of his 40 goals came in the 2nd period, on 109 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.
