"Statistical anomaly" is easily the best explanation here, and there are still many of them - for example, the team with the best even strength save percentage in the NHL is Chicago, but they somehow have the league-worst PK save percentage at .779. That just doesn't make any damned sense.
Second, I'll see if I can't dig up the shot location data for their PK, but it's pretty unlikely... that's always the standard answer ever since the Lockout Leafs. It never turns out to actually be true.
Third, save percentage isn't an "advanced stat". It's a regular stat used by literally everyone. This is just common sense.

Could they also allow less shots? Or maybe the pressure is causing more point shots than shots in the slot or down low plays
Not saying its the case here but saying it is solely a statistical anomaly (not that I am saying you are just in general) is just as lazy as the writer in this case saying its all due to system
We can't blindly trust these stats without scouting it as well
