Linemate and opposition quality
2025-26 · 5v5 · 118 min on ice · ranked against 270 defencemen
teammates' average xGF%
50th percentile · higher = stronger linemates
opponents' average ice-time share
1st percentile · higher = faces more top-line minutes
Sheltered minutes: mostly faces weaker opposition.
QoT averages the season xGF% of McIlrath's 5v5 teammates; QoC averages how much of their team's ice time McIlrath'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.
