Monahan scores 2 goals as Flames beat Devils 3-2
NEWARK, N.J. — Getting ready to play the Flames, the New Jersey Devils knew they had to stop Calgary’s top line of Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan and Michael Ferland if they wanted to win.
They didn’t, and they didn’t.
Gaudreau scored the go-ahead goal and set up Monahan’s second of the game, and the Flames won their third straight with a 3-2 decision on Thursday night.
“We’re good friends off the ice and we’ve been playing together for four years now,” Gaudreau said of Monahan after the Flames improved to 15-5-5 on the road. “The chemistry keeps building and building, and it’s a lot of fun to play with him. He’s a leader and we’ve been fortunate because there’s been less than 20 to 30 games in my career where I haven’t played with him.”
