We've got to spread it out and have everybody accept their role and then go from there.” I've said it many times including in the dressing room, we're not a top-heavy line-up. “He's got a great attitude and works hard.
“He's been awesome,” said coach Darryl Sutter on how he's handled the demotion. It was Monahan's 62nd goal on the man advantage since entering the NHL in 2013, which is tied for 23rd over that span. The goal at 9:07 came on Calgary's 12th consecutive shot to open the second period. Monahan redirected past Carter Hart a perfect centering pass from Rasmus Andersson. The relentless pressure led to the Flyers taking two minor penalties with the second one proving costly. “We've got a good team, we're winning games, and I have no complaints.”Īfter a tight-checking, scoreless first period in which Calgary outshot Philadelphia 8-4, the Flames turned it up in the second and had the Flyers continuously trapped in their own end. “It's a team game and when you're part of a team, you've got to accept your role and do the best job you can,” said Monahan, a three-time 30-goal scorer. Against the Flyers, that's where he did his damage scoring the game-winner and setting up Matthew Tkachuk's insurance goal in the third. While centering Calgary's fourth line with veteran wingers Milan Lucic and Trevor Lewis has been a major change for Monahan, the Flames' third highest-paid player at $6.375 million has remained on the club's No. Monahan scored his first goal of the season and added an assist Saturday night as the Calgary Flames, backstopped by Jacob Markstrom's 20-save shutout, made it six consecutive victories with a 4-0 blanking of the Philadelphia Flyers. CALGARY - Sean Monahan has found himself in a reduced role this season, but as the Calgary Flames continue to rattle off wins, he has no complaints.
