I assume you are raising this concern in regard to Monahan’s injuries last year? Because as of today the only suggestion that he could be playing injured stems from a video feed in which his wrist might look swollen.
Otherwise, it’s part of the risk and exchange that players agree to as very highly compensated professional athletes. Hockey may wreck a players back, or his knees, or his wrists by the time he is 40-years-old, but a good number—Monahan certainly—will walk away with enough money to never have to work again. The players themselves still retain a lot of control over whether they play or not, and I expect that most of them will choose to play through injuries so long as they can.
