Monahan has had some bad giveaways this year which stand out, but his overall game hasn't been bad and there's some signs of improvement there.
- Faceoffs - he's at 53.3% this year (best on the team), last year he finished at 46% (Backlund has also shown improvement - 50% this year, 47.5% last year)
- Shots - last year he averaged 1.87 shots/game. This year he's up to 2.83 shots/game. A lot of non-CPers people pointed to his unsustainable shooting percentage last year, but most here felt he'd increase his shots enough to maintain his scoring. He hasn't scored yet obviously, but with the increased shot he could lower his shooting percentage to 10.3% and score the same as he did last year. He's starting to be able to drive possession a bit when last year he couldn't do it as much.
