After the Ducks opened the scoring when Andy Welinski fired a hard slap-shot past screened Flames goalkeeper Mike Smith, Monahan began his offensive onslaught. By that point, the Flames were rolling and any questions about Monahan were answered, at least for the time-being. With the win, the Flames are now eight points ahead of the San Jose Sharks at the top of the Pacific Division. The Flames and Sharks meet Sunday night, too, so a win for the Calgary crew that night will get the job done, too. He hadn’t scored in the Flames’ five previous games, and it also set a career high in goals, with 32.
