I always assumed the same as you...but I just checked out how many points each game is worth league-wide on average, and it doesn't appear so. Hopefully someone can verify or point out errors as I did this in about 2 minutes. I used puckon.net for info.

..............First 55 (2/3)...Last 27 (1/3)
2013-14: ....2.25...............2.24
2011-12: ....2.23...............2.27
2010-11: ....2.23...............2.26
2009-10: ....2.23...............2.28

This season is running at 2.25 so far.
