Linemate and opposition quality
2025-26 · 5v5 · 504 min on ice · ranked against 510 forwards · last season, until this season has enough games to rank

25th percentile · higher = stronger linemates
opponents' average ice-time share

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