Washington Capitals 1st place What a night for Sean Monahan! In his 800th career NHL game, he made it one to remember on the scoresheet. Last night against the Boston Bruins, Monahan scored two goals to help his team secure a 6-2 victory. Those goals were numbers 12 and 13 on the season, bringing his point total to 33. He has been a driving force for the Columbus Blue Jackets this season and continues to show why they gave him the contract they did. Playing in 800 career NHL games is an accomplishment that many players never achieve. However, scoring two goals and recording four shots on net in game 800 is an entirely different level of achievement. For someone who has overcome so much adversity in his career, Monahan plays the game with remarkable calmness and poise. He has been a leader for a Blue Jackets team missing their captain and facing their own challenges. It’s heartwarming to see the good guys win sometimes. That’s what we’re witnessing here. Monahan is an incredible human being, and he’s getting another chance to prove that injuries won’t define his career. Congrats Monahan! What's Next - The Blue Jackets are in Boston tonight to face the Bruins for the third and final time this season. What do you think? Please share your thoughts on our forum.
