Zemgus Girgensons
01/Where he scores from
Girgensons scored 9 regular season goals on 132 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. 6 of them came from inside nine feet of one point — the doorstep, 9 ft out.
Doorstep. 5 of his 9 goals came from here, on 56 of his 132 attempts.
Slot. 3 of his 9 goals came from here, on 47 of his 132 attempts.
Perimeter. 1 of his 9 goals came from here, on 27 of his 132 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 9 goals came from here, on 2 of his 132 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 132 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. This is a record of what happened, not a forecast: nothing here is claimed to repeat.
