Brendan Gallagher News
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.
