Monahan has been fine. Sutter has everyone carrying their weight, and I would add Monahan to the top of that list. For years this team seemed built around allowing him to find space, while others worked to feed him a puck. Now he's being asked to play a faster, more responsible game, and he is quietly doing a good job. Props to him for being a guy who accepts that role with what appears to be little complaint. That's a professional and the reason he wears a letter.
If by, "back to his old self," you mean skating from slot to slot waiting for the puck to find him, no he is not that guy, but his complete game is adding a lot to the lower lines, and is part of the reason the Flames have been managing the ice early in this game.
