Monahan hasn't been great, but Bennett-Monahan is still a good pairing. I would move Bennett to centre and put someone who drives play, like Frolik at right wing to get the line going. Move Shinkaruk up to the Backlund line and shrink the rotation down to nine guys. Basically:
Monahan-Bennett-Frolik
Tkachuk-Backlund-Shinkaruk
Ferland-Stajan-Hathaway
