Canadiens coach Michel Therrien doesn't like how much Brendan Gallagher is getting "abused."

Gallagher, a Calder Trophy finalist, has two goals in the series. In the penalty-fest that was Game 3, he also wound up fighting, which is something his coach doesn't really want to see. "He's a kid who comes to the rink with such a great attitude and great work ethic. He's a small guy who plays a big game, but the thing I don't like is he's getting abused. "You never want to see your young players get abused," Therrien said. "Yesterday, he ended up fighting. That's not his game. He's never done that before, maybe one time. Hopefully, those things are going to stop. He drew two penalties, but that doesn't make the other five times he was hit okay. It's not okay. He's a good player. The NHL needs good kids like that to sell the game."

Brendan Gallagher scored what proved to be the game-winner for the Canadiens in their 3-1 win over the Senators in Game 2 of their first-round series Friday night.

The little guy continues to be quite the menace, as he's now scored in his first two career playoff games and has goals in four straight tilts, dating back to the regular season. Even more impressive is that Gallagher keeps doing his damage without a ton of ice time, as he had 12:09 on Friday, still managing eight shots, four of which went on goal. Michael Ryder and Ryan White recorded the other goals for the Habs, who brought the series even after an emotional Game 1 that saw Lars Eller leave on a stretcher, bloodied and concussed. Brandon Prust, Rene Bourque, Alex Galchenyuk and P.K. Subban had the helpers.

Brendan Gallagher registered a goal and an assist in the Canadiens' 4-1 win over the Leafs on Saturday night.

Gallagher's rookie (regular) season ends on a high note. The 20-year-old was fantastic this season, ending with a rookie-high 15 goals and 28 points, which is second among rookies. Lars Eller had a goal and two helpers, while Andrei Markov also had a goal and an assist. Tomas Plekanec potted the other goal.
