Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher: Stretches for assist

Gallagher had one assist, four shots on goal, three hits, three blocked shots and two penalty minutes in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Vegas.

Gallagher's stretch pass to Tyler Toffoli was the primary helper on Montreal's second goal, giving the forward five points over the last six games. He's been a game-time decision in two of the last three contests but has averaged 16:06 over those three games, more than his season average TOI (15: 15).
