Monahan (undisclosed) won't play Sunday against the Hurricanes, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monahan is white-hot right now, putting up four goals and six assists with a plus- rating in his last six games. His out designation is quite the surprise, and the details of this injury are unclear. For the time being, either Ryan Lomberg or Marek Hrivik will slot into the Flames' lineup.

Monahan recorded a goal, a power-play assist and five shots during Friday's 4-2 win over Florida.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old center now has four goals and six assists during a six-game point streak, which includes four multi-point showings. The heater has Monahan on pace to both flirt with a point-per-game campaign and post career-best offensive numbers across the board.

EDGE Analysis

The top-line pivot has notched three goals and four assists during his active four-game point streak and is now up to 39 points -- 20 tallies -- through 42 contests for the campaign. Monahan is currently scoring at a career-best pace, and it certainly helps that he has long-standing chemistry with star winger Johnny Gaudreau. While fantasy owners shouldn't be surprised if Monahan cools off slightly, he projects to remain a solid asset in all settings. He's just entering his offensive prime, after all.

Monahan produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Monahan hadn't done much of anything since a trip to Montreal on Dec. 7; this assist snapped a five-game scoreless streak for the center. He's had a consistent year so far, and the scoreless skid is likely to be just a bump in the road rather than a serious issue.

Monahan scored a pair of goals, including the overtime winner Thursday against Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

With six game-winning goals already this season, Monahan is proving to be one of the most clutch players in the league. He's currently riding a three-game point streak, recording five points (three goals) and 16 shots in that span. The 23-year-old has been excellent all season and his 30 points in 29 games make him an automatic roll every game. Monahan centers the first power-play unit, scores plenty of goals and shoots the puck often, making him the ultimate fantasy stud.

Monahan had two goals and an assist in a 6-4 Friday loss to Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Monahan is now up to 14 goals on the season, which is more than halfway to last season's total. That was in 82 games; this is in just 22. The center has never failed to reach 20 goals in a season, but merely reaching 20 is a formality if he stays healthy. A career high in goals seems likely.

Monahan had what became the game-winning goal and an assist in Monday's 4-1 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

That's the way you follow up a hat trick. Monahan did a nice job building off his performance against Philadelphia by getting on the score sheet twice, including getting his goal on the power play. That's his fourth multi-point game of the month, and he's now averaging better than a point a game. The young center is proving himself a dependable fantasy option.

Monahan earned his first career hat trick in Saturday afternoon's 5-4 overtime road win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Flyers goalie Brian Elliott could have nightmares about Monahan's gaudy performance in this one. The savvy pivot recorded all of goals in the second period and the three markers took place on the man advantage. Don't look now, but Monahan is averaging a point per game through 19 contests, and he effectively doubled his power-play total thanks to his exploits from this matinee.

Monahan collected a pair of helpers in Thursday's win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Monahan has been on fire of late, recording three goals and five assists during a six-game point streak. The 23-year-old thrives on the top line with Johnny Gaudreau and is operating at a point-per-game pace through 16 games. He's a reliable fantasy play whenever the Flames take to the ice.
