Monahan (undisclosed) will play in Wednesday's game against the Oilers, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan's status for Tuesday's game appeared up in the air after he missed Monday's practice session for undisclosed reasons. It appears he will give it a go and will be flanked by Johnn Gaudreau and Micheal Ferland on the top line. He should also assume his usual role on the team's top power-play unit.

Monahan was absent from Monday's practice with an undisclosed issue, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan, Mikael Backlund, and Matthew Tkachuk all missed practice and head coach Glen Gulutzan said, "If all three guys are out tomorrow, a lot of guys are going to have to step up." That certainly makes it sound like the Flames are concerned Monahan won't be able to play. That would be a huge blow, as the 23-year-old has 30 goals and 31 assists through 69 games. Calgary's next game is Tuesday against the Oilers, so be sure to keep an eye on Monahan's status.

Monahan (undisclosed) should be fit to play Friday against the Senators, as Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports the Flames will go with the same lines and defensive pairings that they used in the previous game against Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan left Wednesday's game against the Sabres with a "minor issue" for precautionary reasons, but not before emerging from a four-game point drought with a goal and an assist apiece. Calgary's sixth overall pick from the 2013 draft has exactly 30 goals and 30 helpers through 67 games, putting him well on pace to establish new career highs across the board.

Coach Glen Gulutzan relayed after Wednesday's contest that Monahan has been suffering from a minor issue and his exit late in the third period was simply "precautionary," Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan didn't miss much of the game because of the injury, but it's worth monitoring the star pivot's status to ensure he's no worse for the wear moving forward. The Flames wrap up their road trip against the Senators on Friday, with either Tanner Glass or Nick Shore available to sub in for Monahan should the issue wind up costing him additional time.

Monahan collected two power-play assists in Saturday's 6-3 home loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
All of the Flames goals were attributed to defenseman Dougie Hamilton in this one, and Monahan certainly had his chances to shine since he earned an eye-popping 7:47 of ice time on the power play. Huge expectations followed Monahan's sixth overall selection in the 2013 draft, but he's been incredibly consistent from one season to the next, and is well on his way to setting a personal best in the points column with 27 goals and assists apiece through 58 games. Monahan is money in virtually any fantasy setting.

Monahan recorded two assists -- one on the power play -- and six shots during Thursday's 4-3 win over Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the scoresheet in consecutive games, it was encouraging to see Monahan collect a pair of helpers Thursday. He's still recorded 10 goals and 10 assists through his past 19 games to continue providing high-end numbers. Playing alongside Johnny Gaudreau has proven to be a huge fantasy boost for the 23-year-old center, and Monahan is well on his way to posting career-high marks across the board.

Monahan scored twice during Thursday's 3-2 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Sometimes scorers only see twine, and Monahan is certainly locked in of late with five goals on 17 shots through his past four games. His 27 tallies tie his total in each of the past two seasons and also position him to soar past his career-high 31 markers during the 2014-15 campaign. Skating in all situations with Johnny Gaudreau is a huge boost to Monahan's fantasy value, but the 23-year-old center also brings a lot to the table.

Monahan netted the game-winning goal for the second consecutive game and had an assist Tuesday against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan has now scored in three straight games and played a key role in a home-and-home series sweep against the Blackhawks. The 23-year-old has been the ultimate fantasy weapon this season, notching 25 goals and 47 points through 52 games. Monahan is sporting a plus-16 rating and has scored nine game-winners, making him extremely valuable to the Flames. Make sure he's in your lineup, as the games only get bigger moving forward and the team will be depending on Monahan's line with Johnny Gaudreau more than ever.

Mohanan broke his own franchise record with his 10th career overtime winner Saturday against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan continues to be one of the most clutch players in the NHL, notching his eighth game-winning goal of the season. The 23-year-old has scored in back-to-back contests and is now up to 24 goals and 45 points in 51 contests. Monahan was credited with eight shots on goal Saturday and continues to be an absolute force on Calgary's first line and top power-play unit.

Monahan (illness) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Monahan missed Sunday's game against the Hurricanes due to an illness, but he was never in real danger of missing Saturday's matchup with Winnipeg following the Flames' five-day break. The 23-year-old pivot, who's racked up an impressive four goals and 12 points in his last 10 games, will center Johnny Gaudreau and Micheal Ferland on Calgary's top line against the Jets.
