As I understand it, PDO is the simple combination of save percentage + shooting percentage. A high PDO is well over 100, and a low PDO is well under 100, and these are thought to be indicators of teams that are exceptionally fortunate or unfortunate. The idea is that over the course of the season numbers will all tend to drift closer to the mean.
The Flames's PDO being so close to 100 suggests that they are getting an expected result, not dependent on unsustainable shooting/save percentages, and thus, is something that looks to be a trend.
