Hard minutes: tough opponents with little help from linemates.

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