Small sample size, and I think Grubauer was like 28th for Goals saved above average in another post that I saw.

Advanced stats are supposed to be indicators of what can be expected for future results if the metrics being measured can be maintained. So if Seattle continued to play as they have, and started to get league average goaltending, the expectation is that their record would improve.

There are many on this board who are far more in tune with advanced stats than myself, but I would think once you get to 30 games played that you start to get a better idea of how teams are playing, and how statisticians would expect the final league standings to look. As is the case with anything statistics related, there will always be an outlier team with bad advanced stats that yields unexpected positive results in terms of wins and losses, and there will be a strong team that does the exact opposite.
