• Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher: Draws ire in Ottawa

  25D ago •

  Gallagher had one assist, six shots on net, one blocked shot and two PIM in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Senators. The Ottawa crowd was ready for Gallagher after the Montreal forward called out Senators forward Tim Stutzle for selling calls when these two teams met earlier in April. Gallagher decided to make sure that if Stutzle hit the ice this time, it would be for a legitimate reason, and he was sent off for roughing. Gallagher also picked up an assist for the second consecutive game.

  Gallagher had two assists, two hits and two PIM while finishing plus-3 over 14:07 of ice time in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Devils. Gallagher had a secondary assist on a Joel Armia goal then was the primary assistant on Kale Clague's tally that closed out the game's scoring. He's posted two points in each of the two contests back from a seven-game absence due to a lower-body injury.

  Gallagher scored a goal on two shots, assisted on a power-play tally and was assessed 12 PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Senators. Gallagher was back on the ice after missing eight games due to a lower-body injury and skated a lot of fourth-line minutes in 5-on-5 situations. Montreal's spiritual leader kept his role on the power-play unit as well. He wasted little time making an impact, scoring the game's first goal a little more than two minutes into the first period. Gallagher was positioned, where else, in front of the net and pounced on a rebound of a Jake Evans shot. Prior to the goal, he was heavily involved on the forecheck to keep Ottawa bottled up in its own end. The 29-year-old forward later assisted on Cole Caufield's goal. Gallagher was eventually bounced from the game when he picked up a roughing penalty followed by a misconduct with one minute left in the third period.

  As expected, Gallagher (lower body) will return to the lineup Tuesday versus the Senators. Gallagher is expected to return to a prominent role following his eight-game absence, skating on the third line and second power-play unit against Ottawa. The 29-year-old winger has struggled from an offensive standpoint this season, having picked up just five goals and 14 points through 43 contests.

• Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher: Set to return Tuesday

  Gallagher (lower body) is awaiting final medical clearance but anticipates playing in Tuesday's matchup with Ottawa, John Lu of TSN.ca reports. Gallagher was stuck in a five-game pointless streak prior to his eight-match absence due to his lower-body issue. If the winger is given the all-clear Tuesday, he figures to slot into a top-six role, though the team could utilize him on the third line to start in order to limit his minutes. On the year, Gallagher has generated just 14 points and will almost certainly miss the 40-point threshold for the second straight year.
