I think you are misunderstanding the phrase. "He's not killing it" means he's not playing well.
And yeah, his linemates to date get a share of the blame for his production. If he makes a pass and the guy misses or shoots into a chest, is that Huberdeau's fault? If the linemates skate into coverage and any pass is going to be into that traffic, is that his fault? Like I said, it's a team game. Unless it's an end to end rush, every goal needs at least a couple contributors.
