Maybe someone who has a better knowledge can help me out here... Is there any advanced stat that takes into account "scoring chances" or weighting the shots based on a shooting zone. I feel like using those as a factor would help in providing a better representation of sustainability.
I look at a game like the one vs the Oilers where I imagine our PDO was brutal as well as our corsi, yet the majority of their shots came from the perimeter. Only about 7 of their 40 shots were in a prime scoring area, where Calgary was at about 10 of their 26. It's not really "luck" that we were able to capitalize on actual chances as opposed to perimeter shots an NHL caliber goalie should be saving anyway...
