  • [Wild About Numbers]: Who Is Matt Moulson & What Does He Do?


    Guest

    One of my first thoughts about him is that he doesn't seem to miss any time with injuries, which is something the Wild sorely need as a team who seem to always have some key player on IR.

    I managed to convince Islanders fan, and blogger, Garik to give us some insight into Moulson's play:

    Thanks to Garik for the insight. Make sure to check out the blog he runs with a couple of other writers, "Hockey-Graphs", the best new blog on the block in my opinion. Plenty of great articles to read there if you have the time.


    So, let's get into the numbers....


    -Firstly, here are the top 25 forwards (2500+ minutes played) in G/60 from 2009 to 2013:

     


    -Here are the top-10 forwards (750+ minutes) in 5v4 G/60 in that same time period:

     

    -Here are his WOWY numbers from 2009 to 2013 at 5v5:

     

     


    -Here are Player Usage Charts (courtesy of SomeKindOfNinja) from 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14 for Moulson and his team's other forwards. The colour indicates positive or negative Corsi Rel and the bubble size indicates the amount. Open image in a new tab to see full size:

     

     

     


     



    -Next, let's look at a different Player Usage Chart (this time from Hockey Abstract) showing Moulson vs Wild forwards in 2013/14. The bubble colour indicates positive or negative Corsi Rel and the depth of the colour indicates amount. Bubble size equals TOI/G:



    -Here's the same chart but with the Y-Axis changed to represent Quality Of Teammates:

     


    -Here are some scoring stats from this season for Moulson vs Wild forwards:

     


     


    -Here's how big a role he played in his team(s) even-strength and powerplay minutes this year:
