You can’t help but marvel at Johnny Gaudreau this season. He’s been easily the Calgary Flames best player. But you can’t forget about Sean Monahan, who’s been quietly racking up the points as well.
Before the season started, Monahan was ranked by NHL.com as a top-20 centre. Except he barely made the cut. He was ranked at No. 20. But so far, he’s been easily in the top five best centres about a quarter into the season.
He’s currently fourth in goals with 14 in 24 games this season. Among centres, that’s second.
