Monahan making most of quality chancesMontreal Canadiens forward Sean Monahan is riding a four game goal streak after scoring against the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday. After being limited to 25 games because of injury last season and scoring six goals, Monahan has already matched that total in 10 games this season to lead the Canadiens in the category Jonathan Huberdeau Jersey. Two huge reasons for Monahans resurgence are his role on the first power play he has scored three power play goals with exposure to high scoring skaters Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki and Mike Matheson, and the fact that hes attempting high percentage shots more often than not. Per NHL EDGE stats, 16 of Monahans 28 shots on goal this season are high danger chances tied with Boone Jenner of the Columbus Blue Jackets for fourth most in NHL , and five of his six goals have come on high danger shots tied for fourth. Monahan, a three time 30 goal scorer with the Calgary Flames who had an NHL career high 82 points 34 goals, 48 assists in 2018 19, will need to take on a bigger role at even strength to return to those levels of production but can maintain fantasy relevance if he continues to put himself in position to succeed with the man advantage. 2. Iafallo taking flight with JetsWinnipeg Jets forward Alex Iafallo, acquired from the Los Angeles Kings in the offseason as part of the deal involving forward Pierre Luc Dubois, had a multipoint game one goal, one assist against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday. It was his second multipoint game through 10 games this season ' and there could be more consistency on the way based on his advanced metrics. Per NHL EDGE stats, Iafallo ranks third in the NHL in high danger shots on goal 18 behind Toronto Maple Leafs forwards John Tavares and Auston Matthews 22 each and is tied for second on Winnipeg in goals four behind Kyle Connor six https://www.flamesprostore.com/ruslan-zainullin-jersey. Iafallo is making a case to stick on the top line with Connor and center Mark Scheifele while Gabriel Vilardi is out with an injury and could surpass or even shatter his previous NHL career high in goals 17 twice with Kings if he cashes in on more of these Grade A scoring chances. See where Matthews is most dangerous on the ice 3. Demko dialed in for CanucksThe Vancouver Canucks lead the NHL in goals per game 4. 60 and have two of the highest single game goal outputs of the season; they scored 10 goals in their win against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday and eight in their win against the Edmonton Oilers on opening night Oct. 11. But as much as the Canucks offense has fueled their surprising start 7 2 1 , goalie Thatcher Demko may be even more responsible for their turnaround. Per NHL EDGE stats, Demko leads the NHL by a wide margin in high danger save percentage . 967 ; the next closest goalies in the category are Jeremy Swayman . 927 of the Boston Bruins and Jonas Johansson . 893 of the Tampa Bay Lightning. After missing time because of injury last season, Demko is 5 2 0 with a. 940 save percentage and one shutout this season and is once again looking like an elite fantasy goalie option; he had an NHL career high 33 wins in 2021 22 after thriving in the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs . 985 save percentage, one shutout in four games https://www.flamesprostore.com/jarrod-gourley-jersey. Although the Canucks have the highest 5 on 5 shooting percentage plus save percentage 108. 4 in the NHL, a sign they could regress at any point this season, a healthy Demko and full seasons of defenseman Filip Hronek 10 assists, plus 9 in 10 games and coach Rick Tocchet have Vancouver back on track to contend with anyone in the Pacific Division.
