I think their goaltending has a lot to say for their productions. We used to be like that at the beginning of the year. Now... now, we're without top end netminders. Don't get me wrong, I like physical play, but to say fighting wins games is foolish when the obviousness of great goaltending is the prominent factor.
Look at Arizona. They're barely scoring above us with a 2.72 GF/g, but a league leading 2.28 GA/g average.
