That is not really what happened:
On the heels of Johnson's six-game streak in Dec, he started the next two, lost them both and recorded a 0.840 SP. Elliott started and won the next game against Arizona, and Johnson started again on 20 Dec against SJ, and lost with a SP of 0.880.
From the start of Jan he started 12 more games and won only 5. He registered a 3.07 GAA and a 0.891 SP over that time.
That is not good enough.
