Aho scored 27 regular season goals on 311 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2025-26. His densest patch is the high slot, 31 ft out: 5/27 · 19% of his goals came from inside nine feet of that point, against 7% of the league’s goals from the same patch.

Under 150 located attempts, so the counts are raw. A share of 66 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.

Unblocked attempts — shots on goal, goals and misses — taken in the offensive zone, 2016-17 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.
