Scoring Chances Games 1-10

As some of you may know, JLikens has been tracking scoring chances for all of the Minnesota Wild games this year.  I've put together a chart showing how each of the Wild players has performed over the first ten games of the season (with the exception of the game against Edmonton) and thought that I may as well put it up here so that Wild fans can use it as another tool in player evaluation. 

For those who are unfamiliar with the scoring chance metric, a player is awarded 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.  It's like +/- but with chances instead of goals.  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. Without further ado, here is the chart (my analysis of some of the numbers can be found here):
