Goals per 60 minutes

One of my favorite stats is how a team performs (goals for/against) with an individual on the ice in either even-strength, power-play or short-handed situations. Each player leaves a fingerprint. With Kirk Maltby on the ice, the Red Wings don't score often, but don't give up many goals.
Here are how the Red Wings have fared through 20 games. The numbers represent goals for and against per 60 minutes of ice time.

Even Strength
Red Wings 2.9-1.7
Forwards GF-GA
Ellis 4.4-1.8
Datsyuk 4.0-1.2
Zetterberg 3.8-1.5
Holmstrom 3.7-1.4
Hudler 3.6-2.3
Cleary 3.5-2.3
Kopecky 3.4-1.3
Samuelsson 2.9-2.0
Filppula 2.2-1.7
Draper 2.1-2.1
Maltby 2.0-1.5
Downey 1.6-0.0
Drake 0.7-5.1
Franzen 0.0-1.2
Defensemen
Lidstrom 4.2-1.0
Kronwall 3.2-2.5
Lebda 3.0-1.5
Rafalski 2.9-1.2
Chelios 2.1-1.6
Lilja 1.9-3.0
Meech 1.1-2.1

Power Play
Red Wings 8.4-
Forwards
Holmstrom 11.3-2.7
Zetterberg 10.4-2.6
Datsyuk 10.0-2.5
Samuelsson 7.8-1.6
Hudler 6.2-2.5
Cleary 4.5-1.1
Filppula 4.3-2.9
Defensemen
Rafalski 9.6-1.8
Lebda 8.1-1.6
Lidstrom 7.9-2.8
Kronwall 6.4-3.8

Short-Handed
Red Wings -6.1
Forwards
Cleary 1.1-3.2
Filppula 0-3.6
Franzen 0-4.1
Drake 0-4.2
Datsyuk 0-5.1
Maltby 0-5.2
Draper 0.9-5.6 (2 5-on-3s)
Zetterberg 0-8.0 (4 5-on-3s)
Defensemen
Rafalski 0-1.3
Lilja 1.0-4.9 (3 5-on-3s)
Kronwall 1.7-6.7 (1 5-on-3)
Lidstrom 0-7.2 (4 5-on-3s)
Chelios 0-7.6 (4 5-on-3s)

Note that 5-on-3s count the same as 5-on-4s and shouldn't. I'll find a way to extract individual ice time in the future. Those players with 5-on-3s against should rank higher than they currently do.

How does Detroit compare with other teams in GF-GA per 60 minutes? Here's a very cool chart from behindthenet.com ...
