The top high danger save percentage last year as a team was Boston at 85.96%

We are going to start to see a correction at some point - hopefully it begins tonight.
That's mostly due to the first few games of the year where they got to play a terrible Oilers team twice. After the 5 game mark, they're shooting 10.9% at ES and are 52-53% in xGF%, SCF%, shot differential, etc.

And even on the season as a whole, if you gave them a league average shooting percentage, they'd still have the 4th best goal differential in the league.
