Nikolaj Ehlers
01/Where he scores from
Ehlers scored 26 regular season goals on 300 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is right circle, 32 ft out: 4/26 · 15% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 7% of the league’s goals from the same patch.
Doorstep. 8/26 · 31% of his goals came from here, on 32/300 · 11% of his attempts — 8/32 · 25% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 12/26 · 46% of his goals came from here, on 103/300 · 34% of his attempts — 12/103 · 12% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 3/26 · 12% of his goals came from here, on 136/300 · 45% of his attempts — 3/136 · 2% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 3/26 · 12% of his goals came from here, on 29/300 · 10% of his attempts — 3/29 · 10% of what he sent from there went in.
Ehlers scored 7 playoff goals on 71 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 1 of his 7 goals came from here, on 5 of his 71 attempts.
Slot. 4 of his 7 goals came from here, on 23 of his 71 attempts.
Perimeter. 2 of his 7 goals came from here, on 33 of his 71 attempts.
Point. 0 of his 7 goals came from here, on 10 of his 71 attempts.
Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 71 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.
Ehlers scored 75 regular season goals on 890 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. His densest patch is the slot, 28 ft out: 14/75 · 19% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 9% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

Unblocked attempts — shots on goal, goals and misses — taken in the offensive zone, 2015-16 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 3 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 2nd 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.
