  Gallagher scored a goal and added an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Flyers.

• Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher: Scores twice in loss

  Gallagher had four shots on net and scored twice, once on the power play, in Thursday's 6-4 loss to Boston. Gallagher got the scoring started early when he redirected a feed from Joel Armia past Jeremy Swayman in the first period. The savvy winger later found a soft spot in Boston's defense and finished off a pass from Jake Evans to make it a 5-4 game late in the third period. The 13-year veteran is looking to build off a resurgent 2023-24 season, when he scored 16 goals in mostly a third-line role and played his most games (77) since the 2018 season. Gallagher is skating on the third line and second power-play unit to start the season.

• Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher: Scores twice in OT loss

  Gallagher tallied twice during Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit. Gallagher's 14th and 15th goals of the season are too little too late, as Montreal will miss the playoffs and his totals continue an offensive decline from the 30-goal, 50-point campaigns of his mid-20s. While there's still depth value in his game, he's only also seen a career-low in ice time with 13:47 per game, which has likely contributed to his diminished returns.

• Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher: Has three-point game

  04/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Gallagher scored two goals and registered an assist in a 9-3 victory over Philadelphia on Tuesday. It was Gallagher's first three-point game of the 2023-24 campaign. He's up to 13 goals and 26 points in 73 outings this season. Although Gallagher did surpass the 50-point milestone in back-to-back campaigns in 2017-18 and 2018-19, the 31-year-old has played a limited role this season (13:48 of ice time per contest) and consequently hasn't made consistent offensive contributions.
