Gallagher skipped practice Friday, opting to take a therapy day, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher spends a lot of time in the offensive zone, playing in the dirty areas in front of the net where there's a lot of bumps and knocks. It's not surprising he needs a therapy day every now and then. He should be ready to go Saturday night when the Canadiens host the Golden Knights.

Gallagher recorded two assists on Tuesday in a 5-3 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

One of No. 11's helpers came on Max Domi's power-play goal in the second period and moved Gallagher to 12 points in 15 games on the year. Despite receiving so much time on Montreal's power play, Tuesday's assist was just his second power-play point of 2018-19.

Gallagher recorded two goals, seven shots and three hits during Thursday's 6-4 comeback win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher was his usual pesky self, but to the delight of fantasy owners continued to dominate on the stat sheet. Now up to nine goals and 10 points in 12 games, the 26-year-old winger is starting to look more and more like Montreal's version of Brad Marchand -- and not just in terms of on-ice disposition. Gallagher is a legitimate fantasy stud in all formats these days so play him while he's hot.

Gallagher scored his team's only goal Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Leading the Canadiens with seven goals in 2018-19, Gallagher has been a consistent catalyst in what has been a surprisingly fast start for Montreal. While the result Tuesday was not favorable for the home team, No. 11 continues rewarding fantasy owners and remains Montreal's most valuable forward.

Gallagher scored a goal on three shots and had two hits in Saturday's 3-0 win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher's goal midway through the first period got the Canadiens on the board first and held up. It was the sixth marker of the season for the diminutive forward, who has not gone more than one game without scoring.

Gallagher scored his fifth goal of the season Tuesday in a 3-2 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to his goal, Gallagher led the Canadiens with seven shots on goal and continues to be an offensive catalyst for Montreal. With five points in his last five games -- including two game-winning goals -- the pesky forward has been a consistent fantasy contributor early on this season.

Gallagher scored the deciding goal Wednesday, in a 3-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Montreal's pesky forward scored his team's third and final goal with 11 seconds left in the game's final frame. Gallagher has tickled twine four times so far in 2018-19 and seems determined to prove that last year's 31-goal performance was not a fluke. He's been at his best in the early stages of the regular season and now has four points in his last three games.

Gallagher scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

He was at his abrasive best. Gallagher laid three hits and fired six shots Saturday. And now has 11 hits and 13 shots in four games. Gallagher has the potential to deliver 50 points, 100 hits and close to 300 shots. He's a specialty-league stud, especially if he repeats his 31-goal heroics from 2017-18.

Gallagher finished Thursday's game without a point, registering one shot on goal and dishing out three hits in a 3-0 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Montreal's super-pest has one goal in its first three games but it hasn't been for a lack of effort. Gallagher is forever getting to the dirty areas on the ice and so long as he continues playing with energy, points are bound to come his way. Also, continuing to get opportunities on the man advantage will translate to No. 11 racking up points moving forward.

Gallagher lit the lamp on his lone shot on goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher scored the first goal in what turned out to be an easy win over the Penguins. In addition, the 26-year-old Edmonton native also chipped in four hits in 17:04 on the ice. Gallagher is looking to build off his career-season last year, when he recorded 54 points (31 goals, 23 assists) in 82 games.
