No biggie, just sayin.

That's one way to look at it, but here is another. A lot of Baertschi's multi-point outings seem to have happened in one-or-two-goal games. His most recent impressive 2+2 performance came in a 5–4 win against the very good Vancouver Giants. Even in the last game against Prince George, Baertschi's two goals were earlier in the game—the 2–0 goal, and then the 4–1 goal. To me, at a very cursory glance, it appears as if Baertschi is a "clutch" player, who does not frequently pad his stats in big blowouts. I would be very interested to see how many of his points come in closely contested matches.
