Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Two points against Caps
Rotowire
Monahan scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Capitals.
The veteran center set up Zach Werenski for what proved to be the game-winning goal just one minute into the first period, then potted his own tally early in the second. Monahan has been locked in since returning from a wrist injury in late March, producing five goals and 12 points over the last 10 contests. If the Blue Jackets somehow pull off a miraculous finish to the regular season and make the playoffs, the 30-year-old's contributions will have been a huge factor in that success.

Rotowire
Monahan had two goals and two assists in an 8-4 win over Nashville on Tuesday.
Both goals came on the power play. Monahan's first came late in the first period off a shot from the right dot; it pushed the Jackets up 3-0.

He has 48 points in 45 outings this season. Congratulations to those of you who kept him stashed on IR -- Monahan is delivering like a trade-deadline acquisition.

Monahan (wrist) is expected to play Monday against the Islanders, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Timeline extended
Rotowire
Monahan (wrist) is not expected back until late March, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Tuesday.
Monahan has been skating for a while, which should help him hit the ground running once his wrist injury is healed. Once given the all-clear, the 30-year-old center should reclaim a top-six role for the Jackets in addition to linking back up with one of the power-play units. Until then, Adam Fantilli will continue to see big minutes on the first line.
Monahan (wrist) is expected to be out until mid-March after recently suffering a setback in his recovery, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Saturday.
Columbus will be without their top center for upwards of two months. Monahan has already missed eight games, and Adam Fantilli has thrived on the first line in his stead, but the team's depth has been tested. Monahan had played at a point-per-game pace with 41 points over 41 contests prior to his injury.

Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Out at least two weeks
Rotowire
Monahan will wear a brace on his injured wrist for two weeks before being reevaluated, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports Tuesday.
Given this news, it appears Monahan could return prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off, with a late January or early February timeline. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran center was absolutely red hot with points in seven of his last nine outings, including five multi-point efforts. Over that stretch, the Ontario native put up five goals and 11 helpers, with five of those points coming with the man advantage. For now, Adam Fantilli will get the first crack at a top-line role, though Cole Sillinger could also be in contention.

Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Has wrist sprain
Rotowire
Monahan's wrist isn't fractured, but he's dealing with a sprain. The severity of his injury hasn't been determined, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Friday.
Monahan was placed on injured reserve after sustaining the injury during Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over Pittsburgh and is expected to be unavailable for at least 7-10 days. However, he might end up missing longer than that depending on the grade of his wrist sprain. Monahan is waiting for the swelling to go down before undergoing the tests necessary to get that information. In the meantime, Luca Del Bel Belluz is up from the minors and is expected to serve in a middle-six capacity during Monahan's absence.

Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Placed on IR
Rotowire
Monahan (wrist) was designated for injured reserve Thursday.
Monahan's placement on IR will see him miss at least the next three games, though it will likely be longer considering general manager Don Waddell told reporters Wednesday that the 30-year-old center would miss time. With Monahan on the shelf, Adam Fantilli could get the first crack at replacing him on the top line, while Owen Sillinger was called up from the minors to bolster the Blue Jackets' forward ranks.

Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Dealing with wrist injury
Rotowire
General manager Don Waddell said Wednesday that Monahan will miss time with a wrist injury, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
A specific return timeline was not announced, but Waddell said he hoped Monahan wouldn't be out for a long time. Luca Del Bel Belluz was called up from AHL Cleveland and is likely to slot into a bottom-six role during Monahan's absence, but Adam Fantilli is expected to see the biggest bump in playing time. Monahan has been a point-per-game player (14 goals, 27 assists over 41 outings), so his absence will require fantasy managers to find an alternative for center depth for a while.

Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Set to be evaluated Wednesday
Rotowire
Monahan (upper body) will be evaluated Wednesday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Monahan exited Tuesday's game against the Penguins due to an upper-body injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time. A better idea of his status could come into focus once he's further evaluated by the team's medical staff, but he should tentatively be considered questionable for Thursday's home game against the Kraken.
