If you run the game in windowed mode you can then move it to the other monitor, shortcut for that is Shift+Win+Arrow Right.

You could also use Big Picture Mode when you want to use that specific monitor. Steam allows you to choose which monitor to open Big Picture Mode in.

Some games also allow you to choose which monitor to use within the game settings itself.
