That didn’t happen last year either. Elliott was very, very good in the streak last season, but through most of the second half last year the whole team was playing excellent hockey.

I would say the biggest difference this year has been goaltending consistency: while goaltending was very good for a six week period which included the streak last year, much of the rest of the time it was well below average. This has been the difference this year: the team has been playing great, and so have the goalies—all season long.
