Monahan registered an assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.
Monahan found Yegor Chinakhov late in the third period for the Blue Jackets' lone goal of the game. It continues a strong start to the year for Monahan, who has two goals, three assists, 16 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over five contests in a top-line role. As long as the center sees significant minutes at even strength and on the power play, he'll be a decent depth option for fantasy managers.
