Sean Monahan returned to action on Saturday after missing seven games with a broken foot. Monahan played 15:20 minutes with 3:20 coming on the power play as he saw the ice for the first time since November 27. He had a tough time Saturday according to coach Bob Hartley. "I would have expected more from Monnie," Hartley said. "He's a young kid and he's going to have his ups and downs. (Saturday), with no morning skate, everything was against him. I thought he survived out there." Monahan has nine goals and 15 points in 25 games this season. He is worth owning in all keeper and deep pools.
