For context, 20.7% of all shots miss the net league-wide. So I wouldn't worry too much about guys missing a low-20s percentage of their shots.

That said, Ferland, Bennett, and Tkachuk are somewhat high. I've got a hunch that the data I want isn't available, but I'd be curious to see a breakdown by shot type and shot distance for those players in particular. Could be Simpson's paradox or something equally benign. Those 3 spend a fair amount of time in the create - maybe deflections and rebounds miss the net more often than other shots?
