I track every puck-possession event that occurs during a game. More information on the work I do can be found here.
EVEN-STRENGTH SCORING PLAYS PER-60
This graph reflects the number of successful scoring plays each player produced per-minute played. Scoring-plays used in this calculation include; offensive-zone loose-puck recoveries, shots, passes to the slot, and dekes.
Among defensemen with significant ice-time, PK Subban contributed the most even-strength scoring-plays per-60 during games that occurred both before and after the Olympics, as well as during the playoffs.
Among centres, Lars Eller produced the most scoring-plays per-60 in games that occurred both before and after the Olympics, while Briere produced the most during the playoffs.
Among wingers, Max Pacioretty contributed the most scoring-plays per-60 before the Olympics, after the Olympics, and during the playoffs.
EVEN-STRENGTH SCORING-CHANCES PER-60
Players must be directly involved in the production of a scoring-chance in order to be credited.
Among defensemen with significant ice-time, PK Subban contributed the most even-stength scoring-chances per-60 chances during games before and after the Olympics, as well as during the playoffs.
Among centres, David Desharnais produced the most scoring-chances per-60 in games that occurred both before and after the Olympics, while Briere produced the most during the playoffs.

Thirteen of the Canadiens 24 players with adequate sample sizes produced their highest scoring-plays per-60 totals, their highest scoring-chances per-60 total, and their highest points per-60 total in the same portion of the season (before Olympics/after Olympics/playoffs).
