Linemate and opposition quality
2025-26 · 5v5 · 381 min on ice · ranked against 510 forwards · last season, until this season has enough games to rank
teammates' average xGF%
60th percentile · higher = stronger linemates
opponents' average ice-time share
95th percentile · higher = faces more top-line minutes
Faces tougher-than-usual opposition.
QoT averages the season xGF% of Dubois's 5v5 teammates; QoC averages how much of their team's ice time Dubois's opponents get, so a high QoC means facing top lines. Both are weighted by time shared on the ice, lean on last season for small samples, and are ranked within forwards or defence.
