Gallagher (lower body) is expected to miss 3-4 more weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Gallagher has already been out for nearly two months, and now the remainder of his regular season is in question. Returning at the front end of the new timeline would put Gallagher on track for the end of March, but given the length of his recovery, it's unclear when he might take the ice again.

Gallagher (lower body) is expected to be shelved for at least six weeks, the team announced Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gallagher has already been placed on injured reserve but now could be a candidate for long-term IR given his extended recovery timeline. With Gallagher on the shelf, both Evgenii Dadonov and Mike Hoffman shouldn't have to worry about being healthy scratches anymore. For his part, Gallagher has managed just nine points in 25 games this season and could be in danger of missing the 20-point threshold for the first time in his career.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher (lower body) will not play against the Rangers on Thursday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gallagher scored a goal on his lone shot, blocked on shot and picked up two penalty minutes over 15:00 of ice time in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Gallagher finished up the scoring with five minutes left in the lopsided loss. It was his first goal in three games since returning from a lower-body injury that cost him 13 contests. With just four goals as the season approaches the halfway point, Gallagher is in danger of finishing with fewer than 10 goals for a second straight year.

Gallagher (lower body) returned Thursday and had three shots and 17 penalty minutes in 13:41 in a 7-2 loss to Florida.
EDGE Analysis
He had missed 13 games with the injury. Gallagher got more and more frustrated as the game progressed and finally snapped late in the third, taking on Brandon Montour in a fight. Get him back into your lineup if you've held onto him this long. Gallagher can obviously help you pad some of the more abrasive categories.

Gallagher (lower body) will be activated off injured reserve and return to the lineup Thursday versus Florida.
EDGE Analysis
Gallagher missed 13 games with the injury and will see third-line time alongside Evgenii Dadonov and Christian Dvorak. Gallagher has three goals and five assists in 22 games this season. He has had a pair of 30-plus goal seasons, but that was five and six years ago respectively and has been injury prone ever since.

Gallagher (lower body) won't play Wednesday versus the Lightning, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallagher will miss a 13th straight game Wednesday, and at this point there's no telling when he might be ready to return from his lower-body injury. The 30-year-old winger has only collected eight points through 22 contests this campaign, so he should be on the waiver wire in all but the deepest of fantasy formats.

Gallagher (lower body) skated before practice Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gallagher has missed the past eight games, last playing against San Jose on Nov. 29. He has three goals, eight points and 51 shots on goal in 22 games this season.
