Brendan Gallagher Fantasy Stats

Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher (personal) will be available during Tuesday's contest against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 32-year-old was unable to participate in Monday's practice due to personal reasons and was in danger of missing Tuesday's game. However, Gallagher participated in the team's morning skate and is slated to return to the starting lineup. Gallagher has tallied two points in each of his previous two contests. During this stretch, he has tallied six shots on goal and added five hits. Through 57 contests this season, the 32-year-old has found the back of the net 15 times and has added 10 helpers. The former fifth-round selection has tallied six of his points on the power-play. Fantasy managers should expect Gallagher to return to his role on the third line and on the second power-play unit. He will have a difficult matchup against the Hurricanes on Tuesday night and is best to fade in DFS formats.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher tallied two points during their overtime victory over the New York Rangers on Sunday evening. Gallagher scored his 11th goal of the season in the opening frame with a tip-in goal. Later in the second period, Gallagher would tally the primary assist on Christian Dvorak's fourth goal of the season. He also logged five shots on goal and two hits in this contest. This performance snapped a nine-game scoring drought for Gallagher, and this was his first multi-point outing of the campaign. Overall, the 32-year-old has tallied 11 goals and eight helpers through 46 games. He should continue to have a permanent role on the third line of the Montreal offense.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher has received a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head of New York Islanders defenseman Adam Pelech in Thursday's game. The suspension will keep Gallagher out of action until Feb. 15. Gallagher has produced eight goals and eight assists across 48 outings in 2023-24. Rafael Harvey-Pinard will have a chance to move up in the lineup on Saturday against Pittsburgh, while Jesse Ylonen could be set for regular action during Gallagher's absence.

Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher will have a phone hearing for elbowing New York Islanders defenseman Adam Pelech late in his team's 4-3 win Thursday night. A phone hearing means any suspension cannot exceed five games while an in-person hearing allows the league to suspend him more than five contests. Although he plays a hard game, it was a rather uncharacteristic move from the veteran who has a clean suspension history. It's been a difficult season offensively for the 31-year-old who has scored just eight goals with eight assists on 103 shots across 48 games. He has been limited to 59 games or less in each of his four previous seasons but has, so far, not missed a game this season, something that will change with a suspension imminent.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher is hoping to get back to his best with a healthy season. The 31-year-old has skated in just 93 games across the previous two campaigns, looking like a shadow of his former self. Last season, Gallagher posted only 14 points (eight goals, six assists) in 37 outings. "I've had a good summer. I have hit all my numbers in the gym, I feel good on the ice," Gallagher told The Montreal Gazette's Steve Ewen. "It's just about getting a little bit of luck and staying healthy for a full season and I'll get back to where I need to be. I felt good last summer but I broke my ankle, and it was a frustrating year. I wasn't there two summers ago [coming off the playoff run], but I'm there now." In top form, Gallagher has been a 30-goal, 50-point player. Getting him near the same level would be like having a new player for the Canadiens. In total, Gallagher has notched 395 points (202 goals, 193 assists) in 675 career games.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher (lower body) will be out for a minimum of six weeks, the team announced on Wednesday. He has already missed three games with a lower-body injury, and we'll be getting close to March when Gallagher is ready to play again. This has almost been like a lost season already for Gallagher, as he had badly struggled to perform, scoring only four times in 25 outings and notching nine points. Montreal needs a lot more from a player who has the second-highest cap hit among all skaters.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher (lower body) is expected to be back in the lineup Thursday against Florida. He's missed the whole month so far, sitting out 13 games because of a lower-body injury. Gallagher's fantasy value has nosedived in recent years, with the former 30-goal scorer following up a 24-point campaign with eight points in 22 appearances this season. It's a very disappointing haul from a player who has the second-highest cap hit among all skaters on the team.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher (lower body) will miss a third consecutive game on Monday versus the Vancouver Canucks, and he won't be available for a while with the team ruling him out for at least two weeks. Gallagher sustained a lower-body injury near the end of last month and it's going to take some time until he is ready to play in December. The 30-year-old hasn't had a lot of success this season, posting three goals and five assists in 22 games. Joel Armia has taken Gallagher's spot on the second line. He just registered his first point of the campaign, so Armia isn't someone fantasy managers should pay too much attention to.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher will miss Thursday's contest against Calgary with a lower-body injury. The team is set to evaluate him day-to-day. It's not been a good year for Gallagher, as he exits the lineup with only eight points to his name through 22 games. Joel Armia is taking over his spot on the second line. The Finnish winger has done even worse than Gallagher and is still looking for his first points with 11 games played. It's been truly a miserable campaign for Armia, but he is also slated to skate on the second power-play unit on Thursday and maybe that can help him finally get going.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher (lower body) will return from an eight-game absence on Tuesday against Ottawa. He will replace Tyler Pitlick in the lineup. Gallagher has had a very tough season in terms of injuries and his form has been lacking throughout the year when he has been in the lineup. With just a few weeks of the regular season left, Gallagher sits on five goals and 14 points through 43 games. Tuesday's matchup looks like a great game for picking up momentum, but fantasy managers should keep their expectations low for Gallagher.

Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher (lower-body) will return to the lineup against the Blue Jackets on Sunday. The 29-year-old has missed nine consecutive games with a lower-body injury, and teammate Paul Byron will make his season debut on Sunday after recovering from offseason hip surgery. Gallagher has totaled only 10 points through 25 games, meaning that the veteran winger is worth rostering in only the deepest of fantasy formats.

Montreal Canadiens right-winger Brendan Gallagher will not play Saturday afternoon against the Florida Panthers. Gallagher is still sidelined with an injury as Montreal pushes through with 11 forwards and five defensemen. His lower-body malady is being monitored and right now does not appear to be serious. With a slew of players on COVID protocol, Gallagher's presence could have been used. His next opportunity may not come for at least a week. Montreal has no games as they have all been postponed due to Canadian attendance restrictions.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday's 4-0 loss to Carolina, which forced him to make an early exit. He logged 9:21 of ice time before dropping out of the lineup in the second period. Luckily, he's considered day-to-day, so Gallagher shouldn't miss a lot of action. It's not been a great year for the 29-year-old, as he's scored only four goals and sits on 10 points with 25 games. The injury bug has been very mean towards Montreal's forwards this season and Jonathan Drouin could also miss some time after he was a late scratch on Thursday with an illness.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher made his first appearance of the month on Tuesday against Tampa, but his comeback didn't go well, as he finished a 5-4 overtime loss with no points and a minus-two rating in 18:43 of ice time. He fired off two shots and picked up one block and four penalty minutes. Gallagher had a goal disallowed in the second period for goalie interference, which looked like a harsh decision. With just four goals and 10 points to his name in 24 games, Gallagher has been a disappointment for fantasy managers this season.

Montreal Canadiens right-winger Brendan Gallagher will be employed on third-line duty again on Friday night versus the Buffalo Sabres. Gallagher was a top-six staple all season but eight points in his first 18 games put his spot in doubt. Now, the forward is still garnering power-play time and has points in consecutive games. Therefore, Gallagher is staying where he is with Jake Evans and Artturi Lehkonen for now. That helps Gallagher who will face Buffalo's depth which is ranked among the bottom five defensively. Overall, Buffalo allows 3.47 goals per game which is a plus.

Montreal Canadiens routed the Winnipeg Jets 7-1 on Saturday. Winger Brendan Gallagher helped contribute to the win by notching two goals and adding an assist. Gallagher tallied his goals in the second period and added his assist midway through the third period. He played on the Canadiens first line Saturday racking up 19 shifts while having just over 14:00 of total ice time. The nine-year veteran has recorded 10 goals and six assists while playing in 23 Canadiens games. Montreal will be in action again on Monday, facing off against the Vancouver Canucks.
