They have the highest PDO in the league. It has only recently dropped fifteen points since they've started playing like the team they actually are. It's still highest in the league, but if it were closer to 1, they'd be around 6-10 in the conference which is where they belong. The best predictor of future success is fenwick close %, and the Ducks are around 47%. That's not good. It's about on par with Nashville and Colorado. They're better than those teams largely because they have guys who shoot at a higher percentage - 10.6% of their shots go into the net, good for 3rd in the league. That number, too, is on its way down, as it was previously close to 12. They've started normalizing, and their record has started to follow suit, as it will continue to.
It's reflected in how they play. Watch the Kings play and be terrified at the prospect of having to face them. Watch the Ducks play and wonder how the hell all the fuss is about.
