I'm just not 100% sure Monahan is the guy that has to come out.
All three of Monahan, Lucic and Lewis have struggled of late. May make more sense to try Lewis on the sidelines for Carpenter giving that line two centers (one left, one right), and see if they can avoid getting into trouble.
The line gave up two last night, but both were soft goals on Markstrom. Monahan turned the first one over but there was never any scoring chance.
Monahan specifically was on the ice for one high danger chance for and none against. Sometimes you don't get the bounces, and that's more true for a line that doesn't score because bad luck is a minus if you're not going to score at all.
