It says a club "can expect" to regress to 100, but that doesn't really say anything about individuals, for which measured on-ice sh% and sv% really differ, since a good defensive player can force bad shots and a good offensive player can create good shots.

and forgive me if I don't take sportsnet at their word. Sports journalism is hardly better than SHL journalism, and they get paid to do it.

This could help

that makes MORE sense, but doesn't exactly answer why, by what is possibly coincidence, 3 of our less apt players are dominating the league in terms of PDO. 3 players who also share a line. And this more or less affirms that PDO isnt pure luck.

edit: investigating more, all things considered, it might be because they're shooting at 20% on only about 30 shots. They must match up very well once they manage to get a hold of the puck.
