Rotowire
Monahan scored two goals, one the game-winner, and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-2 victory over the Devils.
The veteran produced his first multi-point performance since Dec. 1, snapping a nine-game skid in which he'd managed only one goal and three points. Monahan is thriving as Columbus' top-line center, and through 33 contests he's collected 11 goals and 28 points, putting him on pace for his best campaign since 2018-19 (34 goals and 82 points in 78 games for the Flames).

Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Lights lamp Tuesday
Rotowire
Monahan scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.
Monahan snapped a four-game goal drought with his third-period tally, though it was too late to flip the result. The center had a burst of offense in mid-November, but he's been limited to four points over his last eight contests. There will be some ebbs and flows with a young team around him, but Monahan remains a surprisingly strong No. 1 center for Columbus. The 30-year-old is at nine goals, 15 helpers, 73 shots on net and a plus-12 rating over 28 appearances.

Monahan set up two goals in the third period, scored by Dmitri Voronkov and Damon Severson, and essentially put the nail in the coffin for Pittsburgh.

The Blue Jackets honored the life of Johnny Gaudreau, who passed away tragically in August, prior to Tuesday's home opener.

Monahan then scored just over midway through the second period, and after getting to his skates, pointed at Gaudreau's banner in the Nationwide Arena rafters.

Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Secures five-year deal
Rotowire
Monahan signed a five-year, $27.5 million contract with Columbus on Monday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.
Monahan will reconnect with former Flames teammate Johnny Gaudreau, the duo having spent nine seasons together in Calgary. The team is currently without a head coach but the new bench boss may look to pair Monahan and Gaudreau together on the top line. Monahan should have a role with the man advantage, likely the top unit, which should help him repeat his 2023-24 numbers -- 26 goals and 33 assists in 83 regular-season contests between Montreal and Winnipeg.
Monahan notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.
The helper was his first point in five outings. Monahan has mustered eight shots on net, four hits, three blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through three playoff games, but his line has been outmatched by the Avalanche's depth so far. Monahan's not in danger of losing his second-line spot yet, but head coach Rick Bowness may shuffle things up if the Jets come out flat in Game 4 on Sunday.

He now sits one point short of his first 60-point campaign since 2018-19, with two contests left on the schedule.
