Columbus Blue Jackets center Sean Monahan tallied two helpers during their 4-3 shootout victory over the New York Islanders on Monday evening. Monahan missed the previous 28 contests due to a wrist injury. However, Monahan did not need much time to return to form as he posted a two-point outing on Monday. He tallied the primary helper on Boone Jenner's shorthanded goal in the second frame. Later in the third, he would add the secondary assist on Kirill Marchenko's game-tying goal. Before his injury, Monahan was enjoying a productive stretch as he tallied 16 points (five goals) over his last nine contests. Through 42 games this season, the 30-year-old has found the back of the net 14 times and added 29 helpers. He should continue to be deployed as the top center in the offense, which makes him a viable option in all formats.
Columbus Blue Jackets center Sean Monahan (wrist) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to return to the lineup on Monday against the New York Islanders. Due to a wrist injury, Monahan has missed 28 games, but he is finally healthy again and should give the slumping Blue Jackets a nice boost. Adam Fantilli will give his first-line center job to Monahan, and the veteran centerman is also poised to operate on the first power play unit. Monahan has bagged 41 points (14 goals, 27 assists) in as many games this season with 100 shots on goal. The Blue Jackets will also welcome back defenseman Erik Gudbranson (shoulder), who is ready to make his first appearance since Oct. 15.

He participated in practice with the main group on Wednesday, and Blue Jackets head coach Dean Evason has not ruled out Monahan rejoining the lineup before the week ends.

Monahan has been a point-per-game player for Columbus this season, tallying 14 goals and 27 assists in 41 games. The Blue Jackets will be back in action on Thursday night against the Florida Panthers and will wrap up this week's schedule on Friday with a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Sean Monahan Not Expected To Return Until Late March

Monahan has fit in well with the Blue Jackets, averaging a point per game over 41 appearances, with 14 goals and 27 assists. Adam Fantilli has filled a big role during his absence and is on a five-game point streak ahead of Tuesday's contest.
According to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic, Columbus Blue Jackets center Sean Monahan (wrist) is expected to be sidelined until mid-March after facing a setback. Monahan suffered this injury during their game against the Pittsburgh Penguins in January. He was placed on the injured reserve shortly after but now is in danger of missing more time as he was originally expected to return in February. Before the injury, Monahan tallied 41 points (14 goals, 27 helpers) across 41 contests with a +17 rating. While he continues to be sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Adam Fantilli to remain in the top center role. In his absence, the former first-round selection has begun to break out at the NHL level, as he has tallied 13 points over his previous 12.

Monahan has reignited his NHL career in Columbus, averaging a point per game through 41 outings, with 14 goals and 27 assists posted. Adam Fantilli, who finished Tuesday's contest with a goal and an assist, might get an extended look in the top six with Monahan out. Cole Sillinger (illness) may also miss Thursday's game, meaning the Blue Jackets' top six could have a very different look against the Kraken.
According to the team, Columbus Blue Jackets center Sean Monahan (upper body) exited Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins early with an injury. The 30-year-old was unable to play during most of the third period. Before leaving, he tallied an assist and two shots on goal. This point extended his scoring streak to four games. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next game on Tuesday evening against the Seattle Kraken. Overall, Monahan has enjoyed a productive season, tallying 41 points (14 goals, 27 helpers) across 41 games, with nine of them coming on the power-play. Cole Sillinger or Adam Fantilli are candidates to take the top center role if he were to miss any time.

The Montreal Canadiens have acquired center Sean Monahan and a conditional 2025 first-round pick from the Calgary Flames in exchange for future considerations. The Flames needed to make space for newly acquired Nazem Kadri, so this was the deal they had to make. Montreal nets a very nice sweetener in the trade, as they will likely hold a first-round pick in either 2025 or 2026, depending on how the conditions play out. As for Monahan, the decline has been tough to watch. The former 30-goal scorer looks like a shell of his former self, as he has just 18 goals over 105 games in the past two seasons. Perhaps Montreal can fix him, but it seems unlikely given his performance and injury history. He holds no fantasy value.
