No.
On-ice production refers to goals scored when a player or line is on the ice. If, for instance, Chris Tanev is on the ice and the line he's out there with scores a goal, that is part of his on-ice production. It's also a part of that line's on-ice production. They were all on the ice when the goal was scored.
So when those ten players noted above were on the ice, their 5 man units were the only ones to produce at the same clip as Tkachuk-Backlund-Mangiapane+2 defensemen.
Hope that helped clarify.
