If you pick on the names or titles on the index page, you will be able to look at current player statistics for the season to date. The numbers are generally up to date as of this week.
A brief word about what you will see: Player Statistics by Player - Games Played, Goals Scored, Assists, Total Points, and Penalty Minutes are in a graph format with the left vertical axis showing the numbers; Plus/Minus rating is shown on the same graph by the right vertical axis. The effect of these graphs is to show trends in the various statistics over the season.
Number of games played goes up, of course; as do Goals, Assists, Points, and Penalty Minutes. Rate of increase and pattern of change tells something about a player's performance over the season. Plus/minus rating, however, can move up and down. Again, though, there are some interesting trends in Plus/minus rating that show up from player to player.
Similar performance graphs are shown for the goal tenders: Goals Against Average (GAA) and Save Percentage (S%). Again, the data show performance over time. One thing to remember about averages over time is that they tend to stabilize. This is because the denominator in the term gets larger over time and changes in the numerator have to be quite large to affect the average. (Think batting average in baseball - hits late in the season have a smaller effect than hits early in the season.)
There are two power play / penalty killing graphs: one shows the Aeros' performance against the teams they play game by game, and the other shows the Aeros' current position in the League as a whole as of the time of update. The first illustrates performance over time while the second is a snapshot at a single point in the season.
Finally there is a graph showing per game statistics: Points Per Game, Penalty Minutes Per Game, and Plus-Minus Per Game. This, too, is a snapshot average statistic of performance. It is derived by taking total points or total PIM and dividing by number of games the player has played. Plus-Minus Per Game takes the current plus-minus number and divides by number of games played. Like other averages, the statistics tend to stabilize over time for the reasons mentioned above. The exception here is Plus-Minus Per Game which can move about rapidly because proportionate changes in current plus-minus can change rapidly. Still, it's a reasonably accurate description of performance for a snapshot statistic.
