Brendan Gallagher

Brendan Gallagher was able to find the back of the net for the Canadiens Thursday, scoring one goal in a 3-2 win over the Sabres.

Fantasy Impact

Gallagher has now scored goals in two of his last four games for the Canadiens, operating as more of an asset on both ends for the club. The 30-year-old has offered little consistent production for fantasy owners to this point and his hard to trust on a nightly basis. Gallagher has scored just two goals through the first eight games of the season.

Gallagher was placed into COVID-19 protocol Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Gallagher is expected to be out 10 days and miss a total of four games. Jake Evans figures to take a top-line role alongside Tyler Toffoli and Christian Dvorak.

Brendan Gallagher scored the only goal in the second period to tie the game 2-2 and then assisted on Jake Evans's empty net goal in the third.

Fantasy Impact

After an extremely slow start to the season, he seems to be finding his footing. Strangely, he is currently on an every-other-game point streak, so perhaps keep that in mind for DFS lineups. Otherwise, Montreal's offense is no longer completely dormant and can be trusted a bit more now.

Gallagher is still suffering from an undisclosed injury but was seen skating at practice this morning

Fantasy Impact

Make sure to look at his game-time status if you have him on your team, getting Gallagher back could be the boost the Habs are looking for especially with Gallagher getting 2 points in 3 games before getting injured.

Brendan Gallagher totaled one goal and one assist on Saturday against Toronto.

Fantasy Impact

Trailing heading into the third period, the Habs came out flying to start the third and were able to come away with a 2-1 victory. With the big game, Gallagher now has six goals and nine points on the season.
