I think generally it and on ice shooting percentage are more a sign of good or bad luck than actual play.
But the other stats are certainly what each pairing gives up when they're on the ice.

Well, I personally wouldn’t quite say that sv% and shooting% are luck.
I think it is a blend of correlation plus chance. There is a reason Kipper was > .925 under Sutter and <.910 under Keenan
I would say that there is a correlation between D pairing and sv%
The difference between .895 and .907 could easily be explained as comparable and skewed by chance - say ~ .900 +/- 10% whereas that .957 is significant under Tanev and Hanifin (even if it’s a function of some luck and say in a .948 +/- 10 % range)
Looking at the GWG last night, the way Gio was dumped - I don’t think that goal happens if all else is equal and Hanifin and Tanev are the D
