It's not a coincidence that most of the best teams in the league are high on the list of multiple 10+ and 20+ scorers. They have balanced scoring attacks that can get them enough goals to win games even when one or two players are shut down or even out of the lineup.
One exception to this is Tri-City, currently #1 overall but a team with less secondary scoring than some of the others around the league - only 7 players with 10+ goals, compared to their rivals in Spokane (for example) who have 11 players with 10+ goals. The Ams rely fairly heavily on Colton Yellow Horn for goals: his output this year represents 20% of their total goalscoring. This is something that Americans watchers might be a little leery about come playoff time, since Yellow Horn has always seen his goal production dry up in the playoffs: just one goal in each of the three playoff seasons he has played in.
More goals numbers a little later....
