Urho Vaakanainen
01/Where he scores from
40 located attempts over 2025-26 — too few shots to map. The four counts are the whole of what this sample supports; a rink drawn from them would read as a pattern that is not there. A wider window may carry the graphic.
Vaakanainen scored 3 regular season goals on 193 unblocked attempts from the offensive zone, 2023-24 to 2025-26. No single patch of ice holds an unusual share of them.
Doorstep. 1/3 · 33% of his goals came from here, on 3/193 · 2% of his attempts — 1/3 · 33% of what he sent from there went in.
Slot. 0/3 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 18/193 · 9% of his attempts — 0/18 · 0% of what he sent from there went in.
Perimeter. 2/3 · 67% of his goals came from here, on 79/193 · 41% of his attempts — 2/79 · 3% of what he sent from there went in.
Point. 0/3 · 0% of his goals came from here, on 93/193 · 48% of his attempts — 0/93 · 0% of what he sent from there went in.
Unblocked attempts — shots on goal, goals and misses — taken in the offensive zone, 2023-24 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. This is a record of what happened, not a forecast: nothing here is claimed to repeat.
