Scoring Chances Games 11-20

As I'm sure most of you know, Kent Wilson has been tracking scoring chances for each and every Flames game so far this season.  I've put together a chart collecting the data for each of these games and wanted to present the data in ten game segments.  With the Flames having completed their 20th game of the season, it's time for another chart!

For those who are unfamiliar with the scoring chance metric, a player is given a chance any time someone on the ice has a chance to score.  He is given a "chance for" if someone on his team has a chance to score and a "chance against" if the opposing team has a chance to score, just like +/-.  The graph is broken down into three game states, EV situations, PP situations (excluding 5v3) and SH situations (excluding 5v3).  At EV I've also included a "scoring chance percentage" which is the number of "chances for" divided by the the total number of chances for both teams when a given player is on the ice.  The players are all represented by their jersey numbers and initials.  Special thanks are due to Dennis King for starting the scoring chances trend last season and to Vic Ferrari for creating an application that makes the game-to-game tallying much easier.  Unfortunately, the 14th game of the season against the St Louis Blues wasn't televised and so no data from that game is included.  Without further ado, I'll present the data first for games 11-20 and then for games 1-20 (my own analysis of the data can be found here and games 1-10 can be found here):



And now for the totals for games 1-20:
