Linemate and opposition quality
2025-26 · 5v5 · 1,314 min on ice · ranked against 270 defencemen · last season, until this season has enough games to rank
4th percentile · higher = stronger linemates
51st percentile · higher = tougher opponents
Plays with weaker-than-usual linemates.
Each value is the ice-time-weighted average season xGF% of the skaters Kaiser shared the 5v5 ice with. Small samples lean on each skater's previous season (or 50% for newcomers). Most skaters land between about 45% and 55% for QoT and 49% and 51% for QoC, so the percentile is the easier read.
