Frequently asked questions
Why does PDO always average 100?
Because for every shot that goes in (shooting %), a goalie's save percentage drops by exactly the same amount. Across the whole league, every shot that scores is also a goal allowed — so sum across all teams, PDO is always 100.
What does a PDO far from 100 usually mean?
A PDO well above or below 100 over a short stretch is usually a sign of unsustainable luck (good or bad) rather than true team quality, since shooting and save percentages tend to regress toward league average over a larger sample of games.
