Linemate and opposition quality

51.2%

teammates' average xGF%

72nd percentile · higher = stronger linemates

27.7%

opponents' average ice-time share

2nd percentile · higher = faces more top-line minutes

Favourable spot: strong linemates against weaker opponents.

QoT averages the season xGF% of Deslauriers's 5v5 teammates; QoC averages how much of their team's ice time Deslauriers'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.
