I think Monahan's alleged injury is being greatly exaggerated. He's still out there there skating hard, pushing and shoving guys, stick lifting, defending, fighting for pucks. I personally have never seen him more assertive in the defensive zone. His lack of goal scoring probably has everything to do with the way his line is getting defended now. They've greatly reduced his line's ability to get out on to the rush which Monahan use to feast on. That's the biggest reason i believe his goal scoring is down. He's never been Stamkos one timing it from the hashmarks or McDavid going end to end, he needs #13 to get him the puck prime scoring areas and teams are defending that better than ever.
