Sure. But if he had 10 more goals he'd be tied for 6th in goal scoring in the entire NHL. If he had 10 more goals in his 33 games he'd be right up there with Ove for one of the top 2 goal scoring paces in the NHL. That isn't realistic at all.
Its not like he s having a terrible year. He's missed games. If you prorate his goal scoring pace it would be 29 goals in an 82 game season. He's haqving a pretty average year for him. So no, his recent form this season shouldn't mean he's any less or more valuable than he usually would be.
