Here's hoping for a milestone for Monahan after tonight.

Interesting thought. Plausible. It has happened to many top notch players over the years.
I remember Iginla. Iggy's 500th goal seemed to take a week longer than expected, he had 497 going into a 7 game road trip and many of us were disappointed that he wouldn't do it on home ice, then he only gets 2 goals in those 7 games, (2 goals in 8 games if you count the last home game). He looked a bit tense at times in those games, even in the game he scored 500. You could see the pressure disappear once he got #500.
