Show me a 20 goal scorer who isn't streaky.
It is true for pretty much every player who ever lived - goal scoring is about confidence, and confidence ebbs and flows. Sometimes you get a good bounce here and there, and that enhances confidence which in turn leads to better play. Sometimes, you don't get the bounces and that in turn leads to frustration.
A 20 goal scorer will score, on average, every 4th game. Factor in multi-goal games, and you're talking about every 5th game, give or take. Even ignoring confidence and "streakiness", you're still looking - by simple statistical distribution - at periods of 10 and more games that are going to be goal-less.
