Canucks are 3rd in the league in PDO but 15th in expected goals for percentage. They are the top team in the league in high danger chance shooting percentage at over 30%, which means they are capitalizing on the chance they get more than any other team in the league. They are getting bounces early in the year and are due for some amount of regression.
One thing I'll give them credit for is they are top half in most advanced metrics, indicating that they're at least a middle of the pack team. I give them a good chance at making the playoffs this year so long as they stay healthy, something they didn't really do last year.
