Linemate and opposition quality
2024-25 · 5v5 · 112:04 on ice · ranked against 274 defencemen · last season, until this season has enough games to rank
Favourable spot: strong linemates against weaker opponents.
Each value is the ice-time-weighted average season xGF% of the skaters Megna shared the 5v5 ice with, each shrunk toward 50%. Most skaters land between about 45% and 55% for QoT and 49% and 51% for QoC, so the percentile is the easier read.
