Yes! This is what so many of the advanced stats guys are ignoring. You are allowed to have streaks where you get a little puck luck, shooters get hot or goalies steal a few games.
Just because you slide back to the pack afterwards, you still get to keep the points you banked earlier during your "lucky" stretch.
I also find it frustrating that they seem to allow no room for improvement. Teams and players have been known to get better during a season.
