To me, that doesn't show bad luck. Luck makes the needle quiver a little bit, it's statistical static. A .94 PDO is a sign of a fundamental flaw in their team game. I think the issues can be corrected or mitigated, but that has to start with an honest assessment of where the team is and how they're actually playing.

I agree with you halfways on PDO. The Oilers netminding has been nothing short of atrocious. I don't think that's luck. I think they have two crappy goalies (we might see a third one on Saturday given Skinner's dreadful game last night). That isn't luck. When you have guys who aren't good, then you don't get average goaltending.
However, the forward group IS good (at least the first half for sure). We've seen them score in buckets historically. They are generating a huge number of chances - the most high danger opportunities in the league. Their shooting percentage, on that number of high danger chances is luck. It's against several goalies, so it's not just the other teams being spectacular. And this shows it's not Eakins' gaming the system here. It's actually generating chances from the kill zone - they're just not going in very often for whatever reason.
In the last nine games, McDavid and Draisaitl have ONE goal between them. That's got to be the lowest production that we've seen from them in their entire careers. Injury may have something to do with that, but McDavid has 18 shots in 7 games in that span, and Draisaitl has 26. That's a 2.27% shooting percentage for two of the top players in the sport. It's not sustainable.
