Linemates
2024-25 · 5v5 time together and how each pairing performs with and without Gustafsson
No 5v5 pairing data this season yet.
Linemate and opposition quality
2024-25 · 5v5 · 313 min on ice · ranked against 495 forwards
teammates' average xGF%
84th percentile · higher = stronger linemates
opponents' average ice-time share
22nd percentile · higher = faces more top-line minutes
Favourable spot: strong linemates against weaker opponents.
QoT averages the season xGF% of Gustafsson's 5v5 teammates; QoC averages how much of their team's ice time Gustafsson'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.
