Plays with stronger-than-usual linemates.
QoT averages the season xGF% of Peterka's 5v5 teammates; QoC averages how much of their team's ice time Peterka'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.
