Did you try looking things up yourself? I did a bit of searching and Jakub Voracek (not a 20 goal scorer last year) was pretty consistent throughout the season until he heated up a bit in March. Pretty much spent the first half scoring 1 goal ever 5-10 games. Was better from January onwards where he scored a goal every 2-5 games. Only one multi-goal game during the season. There are many ways to end up with 20 goals in a season. To categorize 20 goal scorers as all being streaky is just silly.

Stempniak had a 15 goaless drought last season.
He had a 21 game goaless drought and a 15 game goaless drought in the previous year in a season where he scored 19 goals.
The year before that he scored 14 goals in during an 18 goal stretch with Phoenix compared to the 14 goals in 62 games he scored with Phoenix.
I only mentioned months because I was lazy and didn't want to look things up, but Stempniak's reputation for being a streaky goal scorer is pretty well deserved.
