Rough against Datsyuk, Tavares and Crosby but pretty limited sample size. 2 games apiece (assuming he played in them). Last change in one apiece.

First of all, as I mentioned results go both ways, you can click the link to see the entire list. League averages for those guys(last season)- 52.2, 50.4, 52.3, and 57.2 respectively. Again, I am not saying Stajan is terrible on the dot, but he does have a hard time against the league's elite. That is why I can't see him as a faceoff specialist at the moment.
On the other hand, Monahan seems to be holding his own pretty well against those guys(last season, not so much). So its the coaches choice, but I am feeling more confident with Monahan on the ice against the other teams' best lines at the moment.
