Arber Xhekaj
01/Where he scores from
Xhekaj scored 1 regular season goals on 63 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 0 of his 1 goals came from here, on 0 of his 63 attempts.
Slot. 0 of his 1 goals came from here, on 5 of his 63 attempts.
Perimeter. 0 of his 1 goals came from here, on 13 of his 63 attempts.
Point. 1 of his 1 goals came from here, on 45 of his 63 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 63 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.
