That stat is a road vs home split stat - the difference compared to themselves at home.
Both players struggled on the road, Monahan moreso than Gaudreau, yet the narrative being pushed is that Gaudreau just struggled on the road "because he's small", the implication being that bigger players are fine on the road.
It's dangerous to make claims like that. There are many, many reasons our stars struggled on the road. Both of them. Gaudreau's size is an easy cop-out.
