I had kind of forgotten that Monahan did have a great start to the season before he missed two games with an injury.
First 16 Games Prior to Missing Two Games

Those advanced stats and actual counting results are pretty good. Then he missed 2 games with an injury (Flames lost 2-1 and 7-1 to the Oilers back to back).
It was the next 15 games where the struggles really started once he came back from injury and his line was just ineffective at 5v5 and the line was getting outmatch from an analytics perspective.

Then his last 19 games before the end of the season were better from an Advanced Stat perspective under Sutter, but the offense dried out.
