Monahan had two assists and three shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan's positive start to the year continued Monday, as he set up Johnny Gaudreau for the Flames' first goal. The 26-year-old Monahan also won a defensive-zone faceoff back to Rasmus Andersson, who flicked a long-range empty-netter to secure the win. Through three games, Monahan's up to a goal and three helpers. He and Gaudreau are in form to start the year -- that's good news for Flames fans and fantasy managers alike, as the duo can go on significant scoring streaks when they're hot.

Monahan scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan finished off a crisp passing sequence, converting on a Matthew Tkachuk feed to open the scoring at 8:31 of the first period. With a goal and an assist, both on the power play, through the first two games of the year, Monahan is having no trouble with offense at the start. He had 11 points in the first 15 contests in 2019-20 -- fantasy managers wouldn't mind seeing him perform at that level or a little better to start 2020-21.

Monahan recorded a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
While they didn't skate together Thursday, Monahan found Elias Lindholm with a pass, and Lindholm relayed to Johnny Gaudreau for the Flames' second goal. The 26-year-old Monahan won't open the year as the Flames' top-line center -- Lindholm occupies that role now, which could open up space for Monahan with less pressure to produce. He had 48 points in 70 regular-season contests last year.

Monahan finished 2019-20 with 22 goals and 48 points in 70 regular-season games. He added eight points in 10 playoff contests.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan has reached 30 goals three times in his seven-year career, but he missed the mark for the first time since 2016-17. His 48 points were also his lowest total since his rookie year. His ice time dropped by a minute from 2018-19 (19:03 a year ago versus 18:06 this year). The Ontario native also shot a career-low 13.3 percent, but that's not too far off his career mark of 14.9 percent. If he can bounce back in 2020-21, Monahan should be able to produce at a pace for 30 goals and 60 points across an 82-game season.

Monahan racked up a power-play goal and two assists with two shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Winnipeg in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers. He also went 13-10 (56.5 percent) in the faceoff circle.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan jumped on a loose puck in front of the net during a Calgary power play in the second period and tapped it home to give the Flames a 3-1 lead. That goal stood as the eventual game-winner. Monahan also assisted on a power-play goal by Elias Lindholm and an empty-net tally by Johnny Gaudreau. The 25-year-old center hadn't had a three-point performance since Halloween, but he and wingers Johnny Gaudreau (1 goal, 1 assist) and Elias Lindholm (1 goal, 1 assist) were an effective trio Tuesday.

Monahan posted a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Jets in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan fed long-time linemate Johnny Gaudreau for the Flames' first goal of the game at 7:06 of the second period. The success of the Flames' playoff run likely depends on that duo returning to their 2018-19 form -- Monahan had only 48 points in 70 games during 2019-20, compared to 82 points the year before.

Monahan has 22 goals, 48 points and a minus-16 rating in 70 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan erupted for a career-high 82 points last season, so the drop-off in offensive production has been a tough blow for fantasy owners. If the NHL doesn't continue the 2019-20 regular season, his 48 points would be the lowest total since his 2013-14 rookie campaign.

Monahan notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan had the secondary helper on Johnny Gaudreau's first-period tally. Through his last nine games, Monahan has five goals and three assists. The 25-year-old center is up to 48 points -- 16 on the power play -- and 165 shots through 69 contests.
