Linemate and opposition quality

2025-26 · 5v5 · 305 min on ice · ranked against 510 forwards

53.4%

88th percentile · higher = stronger linemates

49.8%

33rd percentile · higher = tougher opponents

Favourable spot: strong linemates against weaker opponents.

Each value is the ice-time-weighted average season xGF% of the skaters Holtz shared the 5v5 ice with. Small samples lean on each skater's previous season (or 50% for newcomers). Most skaters land between about 45% and 55% for QoT and 49% and 51% for QoC, so the percentile is the easier read.
