And even on the season as a whole, if you gave them a league average shooting percentage, they'd still have the 4th best goal differential in the league.

Even if you exclude the first five games of the year they have still led the league in shooting percentage and high danger save percentages over the past 10 games in all situations.
They have simply run extremely hot all year and it's not going to last forever. The good news for them however is that they have built up a very comfortable margin in the standings so even when they go on an inevitable slide, it shouldn't be to costly for them.
