Can't deny that the defensive side of the game has gotten much much tighter over that period also, which is promising.

This is probably true.
I find it interesting that the coldest member of that group over the past stretch of five games or so is Sean Monahan. I think it is fair to say that this has had a significant effect on Gaudreau and Ferland, which I think is informative in light of how unimportant some fans believe him to be to this team.
Put simply, Sean Monahan is just as vital to making that top line work as is Johnny Gaudreau.
