This post will focus on the number of successful offensive and defensive-touches each Montreal Canadiens forward has contributed in the offensive-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 deke, pass, or shot-on-net. A successful defensive-touch is any successful attempt to remove puck-possession from the opposition by way of a stick-check, body-check, 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.
