A five goal month was the best of anyone wearing Calgary Flames colors, so Sean Monahan has to be seen as the top performer.
Johnny Gaudreau scored more points for the month, with nine all-up but it’s Monahan’s five goals that make good argument for him as the number one guy for November.
Sean has headed up the first line alongside Johnny and Jiri Hudler for the most part this month; Jiri hasn’t exactly been delivering but Sean and Johnny have shown some impressive chemistry.
Monahan took on a huge workload in terms of face-offs in November, contesting 271 and admirably winning 141 for a face-off win percentage of 52.03 showing the maturity level usually seen from a player several years his senior.
The Calgary Flames expected this of him when they selected him in the first round in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft but are likely surprised to reap the rewards so soon.
Heading into December, the only negative against Sean Monahan is his season plus/minus score of -8 but that statistic is reflective of his team-mates as much as it is of his individual performances.
