Those are the averages the game's engine will try to achieve, yeah. In historical they change from season to season to match the real numbers from that year - I'm guessing you're starting in 2005-06 from those numbers? 6.17 was the actual goals per game from that year - between the new obstruction rules and refs calling games super-tight after the lockout, power play opportunities took a huge jump, which pushed scoring back to mid-90's levels.
