You've seen that with most of his goals and assists. Just knowing where he or the puck needed to go in order for a scoring chance.

Looking at Monahanīs goals all have been great setups or him getting second chances so Iīd think his game will cool off when his line cools off. I donīt think his linemates are getting nearly as much credit as they should especially Hudler who is having the best start of his career. But he definitely seems to be in the right place at the right time and has great scoring touch. Hockey IQ of the charts.
