What are you talking about?
Andrew Mangiapane has 58 goals in his last 171 NHL games
That's not "40 hot games"
That's an average pace of 28 goals per 82 games over a longer sample size than two full 82 game seasons.
And he hasn't spent a single one of those games on his team's top powerplay unit.
You really don't seem to understand how remarkable he has been since halfway into his rookie season.
That number will skew even higher if Mangiapane breaks the 35 or 40 goal barriers this year, which he's well on pace to do. The higher skew will also be affected by recency weighting, which matters in contract negotiations.
