Linemate and opposition quality
2024-25 · 5v5 · 166 min on ice · ranked against 495 forwards · last season, until this season has enough games to rank
34th percentile · higher = stronger linemates
68th percentile · higher = tougher opponents
Faces tougher-than-usual opposition.
Each value is the ice-time-weighted average season xGF% of the skaters Hayden 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.
