For the most part I think Monahan has looked really good this season.
Much more engaged, and way more confident with the puck. Using his body to win puck battles and positioning more often.
Johnny is similar but for him it's all about moving his feet. When he's skating he is a difference maker, but he's a liability if he's not skating and putting in that effort.
Overall they have had a couple of bad periods but I've been generally encouraged by their start to the season.
