Monahan scored a goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Avalanche.
Monahan has three goals and five assists over five contests since returning from a wrist injury, so he hasn't missed a beat on offense. The center is up to 17 goals, 32 assists, 117 shots on net and a plus-16 rating through 46 appearances. He's a safe bet to reach the 50-point mark for the second year in a row and the seventh time in his career, and he should close out 2024-25 in a first-line role.

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.

Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Suffers setback
Rotowire
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: 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.

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.
