Defenseman Scoring Race

[Regal]

I am seeing 7.32% 5v5 and ~9.5% on the PP.

Edit: Ohh you mean 10.22% of shots go in while he is on the ice. Not he shoots at 10.22%. Honestly, a PDO of 101.4 isn't an outlier. Slightly lucky. But close enough to the mean.

Sh% = Teams Shooting Percentage while player is on the ice

His shooting percentages are less. Just while he is on the ice around 1 in 10 shots go in.

PDO isn't relative to points, on-ice shooting percentage is. How many shots go in against him is irrelevant to his points. His team scoring on an inordinate amount of shots while he's on the ice is. A jump of almost 3 is huge, it's almost a 40% increase. If the team shot the same as his average in the 8 years before last year while he was on the ice, and he had a point on the same percentage of goals, he would have lost 7 points at 5 on 5.

New coach, new system. Sharks went from 20ish to 2nd in power rankings. That kinda jump is gonna confuse some year over year stats like that. Nothing about what happened screams lucky. Unless the whole team was lucky. Not sure why the points would congregate to Vlasic though if Thornton, Pavelski and Burns were just lucking there way through to the finals.
