Conversely, Monahan doesn't have that same leverage. Sutter has lots of centers at his disposal.

Fair enough, but the Sutter is being inconsistent with his “punishments”. Or else he was going with hot hands, as they sometimes do.
It’s clear Monahan’s stamina is not where it should be. His skating is better early in games, but his shifts get shorter and shorter, so I suspect those commenting on his cardio may be right. So keeping him out at the end of the game may have been a fitness issue. You don’t want a guy with rubber legs in OT.
