what's the sample size and did it translate to the playoffs?
Genuinely don't know...
5v5 Stats with Linemates (2024)
- 150 mins - Bertuzzi, Matthews, Domi
- Expected Goals/60: 4.23
- Expected Goals Against/60: 2.22
- 404 mins - Knies, Matthews, Marner
- Expected Goals/60: 3.16
- Expected Goals Against/60: 2.23
So much for "Marner boosting Matthews' goals" or "Marner being this incredible defensive asset on Matthews' line."
Looking back:
Matthews as a rookie:
- 917 mins with Hyman
- Goals/60: 1.72
- 411 mins with C. Brown
- Goals/60: 2.19
Matthews with Marner at 25-26 years old:
- 1260 mins (over 2 seasons)
- Goals/60: 1.48
- Matthews with Domi at 26 years old:
- 206 min
- Goals/60: 3.19
That $11 million winger sure is boosting Matthews a lot!
