Linemate and opposition quality
2025-26 · 5v5 · 688 min on ice · ranked against 510 forwards
teammates' average xGF%
18th percentile · higher = stronger linemates
opponents' average ice-time share
15th percentile · higher = faces more top-line minutes
Sheltered minutes: mostly faces weaker opposition.
QoT averages the season xGF% of van Riemsdyk's 5v5 teammates; QoC averages how much of their team's ice time van Riemsdyk'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.
