How to read the numbers
Each number adds the stats of the opposing players listed at that position in a game, then averages those game totals over the games with a player there (GP). Rank 1 allows the most of the 30 clubs ranked, and the small ordinal under each number is that rank. Regular season only. Positions come from our roster data, with estimates where an exact position is unavailable.
