He could have scored against Phoenix but was robbed by Mike Smith in close about 5 times.

A 15% shooting percentage could be entirely attainable. If he shoots 15% from now on and maintains his rate of shots, it would result in 26 more goals, giving him 32 on the season. If Monahan ends up with that number I think everyone in Calgary would be ecstatic. I think 20 goals is a totally reasonable expectation after seeing his first 9 games and 30 would be the "wow" result.
Of course, if he somehow manages to maintain this pace and finishes with 55 goals I'll happily eat pubes. With mustard.
