I'm not sure that's fair to Monahan. Against Toronto he made 3 great plays I can remember to set teammates up for Grade A chances.
He outworked 3 Leafs trying to leave their zone, striping them of the puck and setting Lindholm and Gaudreau up for a 2 on 1. Lindholm shot it through Anderson who caught a piece with his heel deflecting it just wide.
He also made the great breakaway pass to Czarnik.
And he stripped a Leafs Dman of the puck trying to rush the puck up the ice in the 2nd, creating a 3 on 1.
