Monahan (lower body) is slated to return to the lineup for Monday's matchup with Toronto, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan will be back in action after two games on the shelf due to his lower-body issue. The center is currently bogged down in a 12-game goal drought, during which he registered seven helpers and 21 shots. With just two goals on the year, Monahan could be in danger of missing the 20-goal mark for the first time in his NHL career.

Monahan (lower body) won't play in Friday's game versus the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan is considered day-to-day. While he hasn't officially been ruled out for Saturday's rematch against the Oilers, Monahan is certainly trending in the wrong direction. Either Mikael Backlund or Sam Bennett will replace him in the top six.

Monahan notched a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
The Flames deployed four forwards to start overtime on a 4-on-3 power play. Quick passing from Elias Lindholm to Monahan to Johnny Gaudreau resulted in the game-winning goal. While Monahan's goal drought extended to 11 games, he's offset some of his struggles by providing seven assists in that span. Overall, the center has 12 points, 35 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating in 15 contests.

Monahan posted two assists, two shots on goal, a plus-2 rating and two PIM in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Deuces were wild on Monahan's stat line, but it was mostly a positive performance for the center. He set up Mark Giordano's goal in the first period and set Johnny Gaudreau loose on a breakaway for the insurance tally in the third period. Monahan has produced a sturdy 11 points, 28 shots and six PIM through 13 contests this season. The veteran center is usually good for a 60-point pace in a full season, and he's on track to top 40 points this year.

Monahan notched two assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan worked a two-on-one with Johnny Gaudreau, who scored at 5:16 of the third period for what would be the game-winning tally. Monahan also had the secondary helper on Sam Bennett's insurance tally. The 26-year-old Monahan has benefited from Gaudreau's bounce-back campaign -- the former is up to two goals, eight helpers and 25 shots on net through 11 games.

Monahan recorded an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan was credited with the secondary helper on the second of Matthew Tkachuk's two goals Tuesday. The 26-year-old Monahan broke a three-game mini-slump with the assist. He's up to two tallies, six assists, 23 shots on goal and a plus-1 rating through nine appearances.

Monahan posted two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan set up both of Johnny Gaudreau's goals in the contest. That duo has been electric to start the year, with Monahan rocking a five-game point streak. He's posted two goals, five assists, a plus-2 rating and 16 shots on goal. Playing on the Flames' second line has opened Monahan up offensively as he gets better matchups, and it's done wonders for his scoring early in the year.

Monahan scored an even-strength goal on a team-high eight shots and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old has found his way onto the scoresheet in all four games to begin the season, racking up two goals and six points with half his production coming on the power play. Monahan is coming off a disappointing 2019-20 campaign, but he's just two seasons removed from scoring a career-high 82 points in 78 games, so his current pace could be sustainable.
