The Columbus forward was presented the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy by none other than Meredith Gaudreau, Johnny's widow.
'When I was asked to be part of this surprise I was so honoured, so excited,' Meredith said in the clip shared by the NHL on X. 'Sean stood by my side for every tribute, every walkout. I dragged him out there to cry with me on national TV so many times.
'But I'm excited about this one because this one celebrates Sean.'
Gaudreau went to Monahan's Toronto-area home to drop off the trophy – a clear surprise to Monahan who was seen checking through a window after Meredith rang the doorbell.
Gaudreau revealed that she enlisted the help of Sean's wife, Brittany, into helping him think they were doing family photos that day to distract him.
