Sean Monahan has been very successful against the Hurricanes in his young career. The centreman led the Flames in scoring against Carolina last year with one goal and four points in two games and has averaged 1.4 points-per-game against the Hurricanes in his career, with seven points in five games.
Monahan's first home multi-goal game also came against the Hurricanes. He scored two goals against Carolina on Oct. 23, 2014. His single-game career high in points came against Carolina as well, with four points in last February's 4-1 win at the 'Dome.
