This post will focus on the number of successful offensive and defensive-touches each Montreal Canadiens defenseman has contributed in the defensive-zone per-minute of even-strength ice-time.
A successful offensive-touch is described as any successful attempt to maintain puck-possession by way of a pass, deke, or dump-out. A successful defensive-touch is any successful attempt to remove puck-possession from the opposition by way of a stick-check, body-check, blocked shot, or blocked pass.
The higher the bubble appears in the graph, the more successful defensive-touches each player has contributed per-minute of even-strength ice-time. The further the bubble is to the right, the more successful offensive-touches (plays with possession) each player has contributed per-minute.
- Only even-strength events were used in this calculation.
- The larger player's bubble appears, the more defensive-zone events that player engages in per-minute.
Douglas Murray has produced the most successful defensive-touches per-minute played among Habs defensemen. He has also produced the fewest successful puck-possession plays (offensive-touches) per-minute played.
PK Subban has produced the most successful offensive-touches per-minute among Montreal d-men; followed my Andrei Markov.
These reports can be produced for any player at any level. All that's required is video. Feel free to contact me by e-mail with any questions, comments, or inquiries about the services I provide.
