We look like a major outlier. What does this mean?

Thanks.

PDO is "luck" which weighs shooting percentage vs save percentage.

Scoring chances measures scoring chances for/against.

Basically we have a good shooting % with a good save % but on the on very low end of generating scoring chances without allowing them.

So we need to generate more offensive chances and continue playing good D?

Maybe our coach should start our offensive players in the offensive zone more!

PDO is an odd stat in my opinion. The league average is 1.00 and it's supposed to measure a team's luck. As stated above, it uses the team's shooting percentage + their save percentage, so if you're over 1.00, you're getting lucky because typically high shooting and save percentages are unsustainable (example would be Pirri's shooting percentage of 15 percent last year).

So pretty much the graph is saying we're giving up more scoring chances than we're getting, and we're also getting lucky offensively and defensively. Defensively would be mostly because of Luongo and Montoya having a decent save percentage. Our PDO is about average actually, but we look like an outlier because of the fact that we're giving up more scoring chances than we're getting.

That and we need to be better defensively. Mitchell-Guds was a black hole for scoring chances. Last couple games though have been the trending positively.

One of the biggest issues I have with Gallant and then playing a guy like Thornton and starting his line in offensive zone even once or twice during a game.
