It's fair to say in the last two games (very important games) Huberdeau took the weekend off.
I guess there were several games where Johnny didn't do much but he was rarely invisible.

Rose-colored hindsight. Johnny was pretty meh in lots of games. As for carrying the team - Tampa Bay game may not have needed a "carry" but Huberdeau set the tone and made the biggest plays. He also made the play that won the Oilers game.
It's pretty rare to say a game was won off of one player other than a goalie anyway.
I do agree with SN that Huberdeau seems like a better teammate. Gaudreau had a small clique and didn't seem to do much for rookies.
