Habs Spent More Time Defending in Game 1 Than They Did Iin Game 2

This post will focus on how much time each Montreal Canadiens player has spent defending in the defensive-zone. Percentage of events spent defending is calculated by dividing the number of events each player engages-in while attempting to remove puck-possession from the opposition in the defensive-zone, by the total amount of defensive-zone puck-possession events.
A higher-percentage indicates that the player spends more time defending in the defensive-zone, and less time attempting to move the puck out of the d-zone. The BLACK line represents the players percentage during the season, while the BLUE line shows their percentage during game 1 versus the Tampa Bay Lightning, and the GREEN line shows their number from game 2.
Just a quick look at the team total shows us that the Habs actually spent more time in the defensive-zone defending against the Lightning during game 2 than they did in game 1. PK Subban has spent the least amount of time defending in game 2, while Rene Bourque was substantially more active defensively in game 2.
Andrei Markov has spent more time defending in game 1 and 2 than he averaged during the season, while David Desharnais spent substantially more time defending in game 2 than he did in game 1.
