It skews the sample/distribution though. Points are worth less when scored in the same game, unless you are on a consecutive point streak of at least 5+ games with at least a point. Voracek has points in 4 straight, so he needs at least a point in his next game or else those 8 count for less. This way, you can have a GOAT like Kane have a legitimate 100 point season potentially. If he gets enough points consistently, then it legitimizes and gives full value to his multi-point games, you feel me?
For example, Schenn scored a hat trick today. That is 3 goals, but all in the same game. So they are worth 0.4 goals each, so actually Schenn scored 1.2 goals today, round to 1 goal.
Secondary assists are only worth .5 assists, and of course, 4 pts in one game (not counting secondaries decrease) actually amounts to 1.6 round to 2P. So that's 4 points in 2 games, not bad. Today's game, he had one secondary assist, so that brings his points to 1.5P, round back up to 2. Against Edmonton he also got 1 secondary, so 4 in 2 is retained. Good for him. If he had one more secondary, he would've only had 3 pts in 2 games.
Of course, the official "stats" include such silly metrics as assists are all equal and if you score 5 goals in a game, you scored 5 goals, but we all know that's not right.
Laine for example went multiple games without goals, but he had two hat tricks. It skews his total and makes him look better than he was. He's actually not that good at scoring, just in single games spread out. That is caused by his play style.
EDIT:
Players exceeding a certain corsi to points ratio, like Kopitar, are exempt from this categorization.
In summation: Pump the brakes, he is a decent player, but he is paid so, so much. Scary.
