I think that was much more the case in 2015 than now.
I think the goaltending is riding an unsustainable high right now (any time you're averaging .950+ it is), but the team's success is coming down to a top to bottom buy in to a structured system that allows for success.
Gaudreau has played this well before, and so has Monahan, and the Backlund line have been doing what they're doing for the entire season, so I don't know exactly what's overachieving about it. It's more like playing up to potential.
If they were riding bounces, and just being opportunistic while out-chanced, then I would say otherwise. But that's not the case here, for the most part.
