Looking at faceoffs, considering he takes them in all three situations (5v5, 5v4, 4v5), I filtered faceoff stats on NHL.com to only players who have taken 50 5v5, 10 5v4 and 5 4v5 faceoffs or more. The goal isn't to look for "faceoff specialists" who excel at winning draws, but don't play on the PP or PK etc. The point is to compare Monahan to his peers.

So, using that criteria, Monahan is:
- 1st in all situations (63.5%) (ahead of Kopitar)
- 2nd in 5v5 (63.9%) (behind Kopitar)
- 5th in 5v4 (63.6%) (behind Bergeron) [Lindy is 1st at 81.8%(!!)]
- 4th in 4v5 (60%) (behind Draisaitl)
- 6th in OZ (57.7%) (behind Stephenson)
- 1st in NZ (75%) (ahead of Kopitar)
- 1st in DZ (64.3%) (ahead of Bergeron)
Something is off with this considering Monahan has only taken 36 even strength faceoffs.
