I don't think so.
I look at the season in 4 sections: up to US Thanksgiving, then to New Year's, to the all star break, and the finish. And each section sees the intensity get higher, and games be harder to win. We tend to see most of the rookies fade as we get to the tougher stages, and the weak teams as well.
I don't get too excited about counting stats, but apparently their PDO has been insane - both because of stellar goaltending, and a crazy-high shooting percentage. Their home record is 11-2.
I don't see any of these things as sustainable. They are 10 games over .500 right now. I bet they are less than 10 games over at the end of the season.
