To get to the HD category it has to come off a pass, deflection or rebound, which at least as an assumption makes it more difficult to save for a goaltender.
The Coyotes give up the 7th most of those per game over the last three years.

I understand that. But not all deflections, and not all rebounds, are created equal. That's the point.
I also understand statistics, and understand that - normally- these things more or less average out. However, there will be teams that do a better job of rushing those chances, of limiting the ability to raise rebound chances, etc. There will be teams for whom those chances are not equal to the chances on other teams.
And when your goalies are all putting up fantastic stats (and past goalies did as well), it is a good indication that this may be the case for your team.
