The Flames first round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft scored two goals and registered two assists in Team B's 5-1 win over Team A. He spent the bulk of his time on a line with Mike Cammalleri and David Jones but also skated with a few other lines as the teams shuffled centremen.
"We rotated through double shifts and you get to know the guys better and see what your hockey IQ is all about," Monahan said afterwards, noting the team built chemistry through line shuffling. "You have to be smart and react to who you're playing with."

Flames head coach Bob Hartley raved about Monahan's strong play on Friday afternoon, lauding the pivot's play in his own zone.
"Here's a big-sized centre that takes care of his game in the three zones. You can tell just by talking to him, by watching him that once you give him a mandate, he wants to do it as a pro. I think that's huge.
"Usually, first-year kids coming into camp, they're still lots of kid left in them ... you can start judging their progression usually in their second camp. But with Sean, we can already see a very good progression, a very good understanding of the game."
