Monahan (illness) will sit out of Tuesday's game versus the Oilers, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monahan sat out of the Flames' last game for rest purposes, but now he's dealing with a sickness. This game has no bearing on the Flames' position in the playoffs. Monahan has plenty of time to shake this illness and be ready for Game 1 of the playoffs against either the Avalanche or the Stars.

Monahan (illness) will be a game-time decision versus the Oilers on Saturday, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monahan didn't practice Saturday morning, but Flames coach Bill Peters seems reluctant to render him a scratch at this point in time. Still, with 14 games still to commence on the regular-season-finale docket, owners are strongly advised to line up alternatives early on in order to beat the lineup lock(s) in DFS settings. In other words, this is a Flames player you really don't want to get burned by if he's ultimately scratched since his lofty fantasy profile otherwise makes him a top-dollar option in most formats.

Monahan (illness) was not at practice Saturday and will likely miss the game against the Oilers, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Monahan out, Elias Lindholm shifts to center and James Neal will feature on the top line in the regular season finale. Monahan should be good to go for game one of the playoffs after missing the last two games of the season.

Monahan (illness) left Friday's practice early, making him questionable for Saturday's tilt against the Oilers, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monahan was rested for Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Ducks. Coach Bill Peters indicated that players who are able to go will play Saturday, but those that have a knock or are ill will be held out. There will likely be another update on Monahan's condition prior to Saturday's contest.

Monahan (rest) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Ducks, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Flames have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the West, so it's a perfect time for them to give their studs some extra rest. At this point it isn't clear if Monahan will dress for Calgary's season finale Saturday against the Oilers.

Monahan netted his 34th goal of the year to ignite the Flames' offense in a 5-3 win over the Sharks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Monahan added four shots, two PIM and two blocked shots for a solid all-around game. The pivot has 81 points in 77 games this season, but he's been streakier than usual in March, a month in which he had two separate four-point games but also failed to record a point in seven of his 13 outings.

Monahan posted two goals and two assists -- including one helper on the power play -- in a 6-1 victory against the Ducks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old also had four points March 12, and that was actually the last time he posted a point before Friday. This performance broke a five-game pointless streak. Five consecutive pointless games mark his longest stretch of the season without a point, as Monahan has been utterly spectacular this season. He has 33 goals and 80 points in 76 games this season.

Monahan (illness) skated 20:23 and registered four shots on goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

It's a positive sign that Monahan skated 1:08 more than his season average entering the night, indicating he's back at full strength. He wasn't needed on offense, as the fourth line of Derek Ryan, Andrew Mangiapane and Garnet Hathaway combined for six points to lead the way Thursday.

Monahan (illness) will slot back into the lineup Thursday versus the Senators, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monahan missed two games with the illness, but will retake the top-line center role alongside Johnny Gaudreau and Elias Lindholm. He's tallied 76 points (31 goals, 45 assists) in 71 appearances this season, so fantasy owners and Flames fans alike will welcome his return.

Flames coach Bill Peters is confident Monahan (illness) will return to action Thursday against the Senators, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monahan's malady has already cost him two games, but the Flames are guaranteed a playoff spot and there's plenty of reason for the top-line pivot to be rested when he's less than 100 percent. Expect an official update on Monahan to surface ahead of Thursday's contests.
