HABS: Player-by-player Offensive-output Per-minute Played

By Kicks @Chrisboucher73
This post will focus on the offensive-zone output of each Montreal Canadiens player this season. The graphs included will break down the number of scoring chances, points, goals, and assists each player has produced per-minute of even-strength ice-time.
Among defensemen, PK Subban has helped produced the most even-strength scoring chances per-minute; followed by Andrei Markov, and Nathan Beaulieu (SSS).
Lars Eller has produced the most scoring-chances per-minute among Habs centres; followed by Tomas Plekanec, and David Desharnais. That said, Desharnais' scoring-chance numbers place him
12th among all Montreal skaters.
Brendan Gallagher and Alex Galchenyuk have helped produce the most scoring-chances per-minute among wingers. Interestingly, Pacioretty has the third-most scoring-chances per-minute among Montreal wingers. Unfortunately, those scoring-chances have yet to result in points.
Rene Bourque has helped produce the same amount of even-strength scoring-chances per-minute as Ryan White.

Galchenyuk and Gallagher have produced the most ES points per-minute played; followed closely by Michael Bournival, and Eller. This graph does a great job of displaying the lack of offensive-output at centre, as Plekanec has produced the second-most points per-minute; placing him only ninth among Montreal skaters.
Pacioretty has produced the eighth-most points per-minute among Habs wingers, while Bourque has only produced more points per-minute played than fellow wingers George Parros, Gabriel Dumont, Michael Blunden, Louis Leblanc, and Patrick Holland.

Brendan Prust has only played 8 games this season. Through those games he has produced the most even-strength goals per-game among Habs skaters. Other players with solid goal per-minute numbers include Gallagher, Bournival, and Eller. Bourque and Pacioretty have both produced only the ninth-most goals per-minute among Montreal skaters.

Galchenyuk has been the Habs most productive even-strength playmaker this season. Other players with substantial assists per-minute totals include Subban, Eller, Briere, Gallagher, and a surprising Travis Moen.
Even Habs defenseman Josh Gorges has produced more even-strength assists per-minute played than Desharnais and Bourque.
