HABS: Defensive-zone Stick and Body-checks

This post will focus on stick and body-checks in the defensive-zone. A stick or body-check is credited as successful when the player attempting the check is able to remove puck-possession from the opposition. It is important to note that the checking player does not have to acquire possession to be credited with a successful attempt, he simply has to break the opposing player's cycle of possession; creating a loose-puck.
The data displayed was produced over the course of the regular season and playoffs. A list of all the events tracked within my system can be found here.
STICK-CHECKS PER-60 MINUTES PLAYED
Andrei Markov produced far more successful defensive-zone stick-checks per-60 than any other Canadiens player. Josh Gorges produced the second-most among d-men, while Jarred Tinordi produced the fewest.
Among centremen, Tomas Plekanec contributed the most successful defensive-zone stick-checks per-60, while Alex Galchenyuk led all wingers in this category. Other forwards who produced strong numbers in this category include David Desharnais, Lars Eller, and Michael Bournival.
Thomas Vanek and Rene Bourque produced the fewest successful stick-checks in the d-zone per-minute, while Ryan White has contributed the fewest among centres.
BODY-CHECKS PER-60 MINUTES PLAYED
Francis Bouillon led all Habs players in successful body-checks in the defensive-zone per-60; followed closely by Alexei Emelin, Douglas Murray, and Jarred Tinordi. Markov had the fewest successful body-checks in the d-zone per-60; producing just slightly less per-60 than Mike Weaver.
Among forwards, White contributed the most successful body-checks in the defensive-zone per-60; followed closely by Brandon Prust, and Eller. Brendan Gallagher, Brian Gionta, and Alex Galchenyuk produced the fewest successful body-checks in the defensive-zone per-60.
 
DEFENSIVE-ZONE STICK AND BODY-CHECK SUCCESS-RATE
This graph communicates how successful each Habs player was when attempting to remove puck-possession from the opposition in the defensive-zone by way of a stick or body-check.
Josh Gorges was more successful than any other Habs defensemen when attempting to remove possession from the opposition by way of a body-check in the defensive-zone, while Jarred Tinordi was actually (and surprisingly) the least successful. Francis Bouillon had the top success-rate when attempting a stick-check in the defensive-zone, while Tinordi had the lowest.
Among forwards, Travis Moen and Max Paciorrety had the top success-rate when attempting a body-check in the defensive-zone, while Plekanec, Gionta, Weise, and Galchenyuk had the top defensive-zone stick-check success-rates. The lowest d-zone stick-check success-rate in the d-zone was produced by White, while the lowest body-check success-rates were earned by Gionta, and Daniel Briere.
