@KoozNetsOff 92 Addition to previous comment. Entire regular season goal scoring pattern of Alexander Ovechkin.
This is as consistent and least streaky goal scoring pattern there is i.e. it's average "streakiness" is very low. Still there are few times 9GP long slumps and several 6GP-slumps...
Now we start fit Laine's considerably short career pattern to that overall background of Ovi...
How much more streakier Laine really is?

Not trying to antagonize intentionally here, I want really know how Laine can be called "streaky", but OV not.
And to answer to that topical question: if there is one hockey player who can make comebacks in hockey scoring,
It's Alexander Ovechkin.
