How convenient for this poorly contructed and poorly coached team that they only way they can win is if 2 guys perform.

I haven't watched enough of either the Preds or Devils to make that evaluation. Though your inclusion of the Devils is really odd. They are tied for first in their division and have vastly exceeded expectations.
Johnny and Sean had a white hot start and have cooled off substantially. Consistency is the key with top players.
Most teams win or lose on the backs of their top guys. I'm not saying they can ONLY win if those guys are performing, but over a stretch of games, a teams ability to pick up points will largely be based on how their best players are performing.
