Monahan was only able to play in 25 games in his first season in Montreal in 2022-23 due to a season-ending groin surgery but managed to pick up six goals, 11 assists, 55 SOG, 16 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus and has earned himself a one-year contract extension worth $1.985 million. The 28-year-old centre is entering his 11th NHL season after being the sixth overall draft pick in 2013.
Monahan has been out since December 5th and will now miss the remainder of the season after successfully having groin surgery. The 28-year-old is an unrestricted free agent this offseason after having six goals, 11 assists, 55 SOG, 16 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus through 25 games prior to his injury.
Monahan hasn't played since Dec. 5th due to a lower-body injury but skated for the first time Wednesday and is nearing a return soon. The 28-year-old has six goals, 11 assists, 55 SOG and 16 PIMs in 25 games prior to the injury.
The Canadiens will be without Monahan's services for a while as he is week-to-week with a lower-body injury. The 28-year-old has been having a resurgent first season in Montreal, with six goals and 17 points with 55 SOG and 16 PIMs through 25 games this season.
Monahan suffered an undisclosed injury midway through Monday's overtime loss in Vancouver. With Monahan out and Brendan Gallagher still dealing with an injury, the Canadiens will dress seven defensemen on Tuesday.
Monahan left Monday's game vs. Vancouver after playing just 10 shifts and 10:15 TOI and will be questionable to play Tuesday vs. Seattle. The 28-year-old has been enjoying a resurgent bounce-back season in his first year in Montreal having six goals and 17 points with 55 SOG through 25 GP.
Monahan has had a tough season, playing primarily in the Flames' bottom-6 and will end his season prematurely due to hip surgery. The Flames acquired Ryan Carpenter from the Blackhawks at the trade deadline and he will likely serve as a full-time replacement for Monahan.
Monahan will be a healthy scratch for the first time in his career. Brett Ritchie will draw into the lineup to replace Monahan on the fourth line.
Monahan has had an extremely disappointing season, scoring just 10 goals with 18 assists (28 points) in 50 games. Playing through a hip injury could help explain some of his inconsistencies throughout the season. The final four games are completely meaningless, so shutting him down now ensures he'll be ready for the start of the 2022 season.
Monahan has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but was back on a line with Johnny Gaudreau at the Flames morning skate, suggesting he could play in Toronto. Monahan has had a nice bounce-back season, scoring two goals with 10 assists (12 points) in 16 games.
The Flames have clinched a roster spot and it looks like Monahan will be the latest forward to be rested. Mikael Backlund is expected to replace him in the lineup and Derek Ryan will skate on the first line.
Monahan has been playing through wrist and hip injuries and with the Flames falling out of the playoff hunt, Monahan will be shut down for the rest of the season. Monahan had another great season, picking up 31 goals and 33 assists (64 points) in 74 games. Sam Bennett and Curtis Lazar are expected to play with Johnny Gaudreau on Saturday.
