Linemate and opposition quality
2025-26 · 5v5 · 646 min on ice · ranked against 510 forwards · last season, until this season has enough games to rank
6th percentile · higher = stronger linemates
60th percentile · higher = tougher opponents
Plays with weaker-than-usual linemates.
Each value is the ice-time-weighted average season xGF% of the skaters Dach 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.
