Sean Monahan has had a lot of success in the National Hockey League.
The 27-year-old centre has scored more than 25 goals in five NHL seasons since being drafted by the Calgary Flames in 2013. He topped out at 34 goals and 82 points in 78 games with the Pacific Division-winning 2018–19 Flames.
Unfortunately, Monahan is no longer the player he used to be. He’s always been more than willing to go to the dirty areas of the ice to score goals, but it’s come at a cost: he’s taken a brutal beating over the years.
It’s easy to lose count of how many off-season surgeries Monahan has undergone during his NHL career.
