With my first post published here back in late November of 2014 I presented a graphic presentation of P.K. Subban's shots on goal through first 20 games of the 2014/15 regular season. Now that we've reached the halfway mark, it's time for the updated visualization. Subban produced 77 shots on goal which is considerably less than he had at halfway mark last season (120). He scored eight goals and has been more effective if compared to first half of the 2013/14 - with 43 fewer shots on net he managed to score two more goals. Here's the graphic which illustrates shots on goal generated during 41 games, except for the four shots the 25-year-old defenseman fired from the own half of the ice.

Also four is the number of shots Subban took inside the home plate area. At first glance, the shots on goal locations look to be pretty evenly distributed on both sides, but if we look closer we can see that Subban more frequently triggered shots from the right side. This is to be expected for a player who spends more time on the right side of the ice. It all becomes even more obvious if we look only at even-strength shots on goal which is what the next chart reveals.

Majority of those shots on goal were taken from right point, but only one of his five goals at even strength was scored from there.

Next, a look at Subban's shots on goal when Canadiens had man advantage. For that, here's a chart with 29 power-play shots on goal.

What we can see is the opposite of the previous chart, meaning that the majority of shots were taken from left point despite the fact the Habs were forced to make adjustments on power play, often times shifting Subban from left to right point. It has to be said thought, all three of his power-play goals were scored from the left side on shifts which he started on the left.

Pernell Karl Subban is on pace to end up with 154 shots on goal which would be exactly 50 less than last season, but he would also finish with 16 goals, six more than in previous year, if we would simply double his midseason numbers. It's impossible to predict what the future holds for Montreal's star defenseman, but right now it's hard to believe he can double the goal count, after all, the last time P.K. scored was a month ago when the Habs beat the defending Stanley Cup champions LA Kings.

I'll be updating my data and will look at the numbers and present the visualizations again after the final regular season game is played.
