Well, it's been pretty well documented that Johnny's off ice activities include things that are not conducive to playing great hockey and staying in tip top shape.
Now, the answer likely lies there, although I wouldn't rule some sort of injury that is affecting his shot. He has never had any kind of decent shot, but it's downright putrid now. On break-a-ways, he simply stuffs it in to the goalie's pads.
I don't think it's that teams are playing him different, because I don't see any evidence of that, but I'm not a real "hockey guy", and maybe I just don't pick up on that type of subtle difference.
