EDGE Analysis

Monahan netted the Flames' first goal of the year in the first period, and then set up Johnny Gaudreau's second-period tally as well. Monahan posted five shots on goal in the contest. The 24-year-old center set a career high with 82 points last year, and he's off to a quick start in attempting to meet that mark again.
