Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher: Helps twice in loss

Gallagher had two assists and four shots on net in Thursday's 7-4 loss to Tampa Bay.

The second line combined for Montreal's first two goals, both scored by Joel Armia and assisted by Gallagher and Alex Newhook. It was Gallagher's fourth multi-point effort of the season and his first since Nov. 4. The 31-year-old has remained healthy for the first time since 2018-19 -- he's been in the lineup for every game except for five due to a suspension. Nonetheless, Gallagher is no longer much of a fantasy asset at this stage in his career -- he has just 23 points through 70 games this season.
