Well, Monahan's on pace for 66 goals, and I don't think anyone expects that to actually happen. The median S% for forwards last season was 9.1%, and if that's what it is for the rest of the season and he's still getting the same number of shots, that still translates to over 20 goals, which is certainly more than I expected.
