Gallagher tallied twice during Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Gallagher scored two goals and registered an assist in a 9-3 victory over Philadelphia on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Gallagher had two assists and four shots on net in Thursday's 7-4 loss to Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
The second line combined for Montreal's first two goals, both scored by Joel Armia and assisted by Gallagher and Alex Newhook. It was Gallagher's fourth multi-point effort of the season and his first since Nov. 4. The 31-year-old has remained healthy for the first time since 2018-19 -- he's been in the lineup for every game except for five due to a suspension. Nonetheless, Gallagher is no longer much of a fantasy asset at this stage in his career -- he has just 23 points through 70 games this season.

EDGE Analysis
Gallagher put Montreal on top, 1-0, early in the second period when he one-timed a feed past Nico Daws.

EDGE Analysis
Gallagher played his second game since serving a five-game suspension. In both contests, the forward skated on the fourth line.

Gallagher has served his five-game suspension and will be available versus the Rangers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Gallagher should link back up with one of the two power-play units in addition to slotting into a top-six role. Prior to his suspension, the veteran winger managed just one goal in his previous seven outings to go with 11 shots, one assist and 11 hits.
