Gallagher (lower body) is expected to miss at least a week due to his lower-body injury, the team announced Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Based on the team's timeline, Gallagher figures to be on the shelf for the Habs' next four contests. The 29-year-old winger has struggled offensively this year, as he has just five goals in 43 contests and is in danger of missing the 10-goal threshold for the first time in his 10-year NHL career.

Gallagher (lower body) will not be in Thursday's lineup against Florida, John Lu of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher will miss his third straight game Thursday. The 29-year-old has just 14 points through 43 games this season. His next chance to suit up will be Saturday against Toronto.

Gallagher (lower body) will miss Monday's matchup with Boston due to a non-COVID illness.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher was sidelined against Ottawa on Saturday due to his lower-body problem and will now miss his second straight contest. The 29-year-old winger has just one goal in his last 24 contests and could be in danger of missing the 10-goal mark for the first time in his 10-year NHL career. With his limited production, Gallagher should probably be considered a mid-range fantasy target.

Gallagher is considered day-to-day with a lower-body issue and won't play Saturday versus Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher's lower-body injury doesn't appear to be overly serious, so he'll likely be ready to return sooner rather than later. Another update on the 29-year-old winger should surface prior to Monday's matchup with Boston.

Gallagher left Thursday's loss to the Stars with a lower-body injury early midway through second period but returned for the third period, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher appeared to suffer an injury to the knee or groin area when his left leg buckled along the boards. He skated to the bench under his own power and was assisted to the dressing room by training staff. Upon returning to the ice for the third period, Gallagher took six shifts for 4:03 TOI. The injury bears monitoring Friday ahead of Montreal's next game, Saturday at home against the Senators.

Gallagher scored a power-play goal in the first period of Saturday's 5-2 win over the Oilers. He also had an even-strength assist.

EDGE Analysis

It was classic Gallagher -- he put in a rebound from in front. But more importantly, it was his first goal since Nov. 20, a span of 19 games. Gallagher has been a deep hole for the last 18 outings -- he has just four points total in that span. He does give you a bit of category coverage, but he's a rough activation. This is Gallagher's worst season in the NHL.

Gallagher logged two assists, four shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher set up tallies by Mike Hoffman and Rem Pitlick in the second period. The 29-year-old Gallagher entered Monday on a 12-game point drought that also saw him miss 17 contests due to COVID-19 and a lower-body injury. The brutal season and the Canadiens' struggles have combined to play a part in Gallagher's poor numbers. He's at 12 points, 82 shots on net, 38 hits and a minus-9 rating through 33 appearances overall.

Gallagher had two shots on net, two hits, two PIM while finishing minus-2 over 13:40 of ice time in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher returned to action after missing 10 games with a lower-body injury and skated on the third line with Laurent Dauphin and Mike Hoffman. Montreal is next-to-last in the league in offense, which doesn't offer much hope for Gallagher, who is a less attractive fantasy asset than he had been in previous seasons. He has 10 points, 62 shots, 26 hits and 28 PIM over 26 games.

Gallagher (lower body) was removed from injured reserve and will play Sunday against Columbus, per the NHL's media site.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Gallagher will return after missing the last 10 games. He has 10 points while averaging 15:23 of ice time through 25 games this season.

Gallagher (lower body) is expected to play Sunday against Columbus, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gallagher, who has missed the last 10 games due to the injury, could rejoin his mates against the Blue Jackets. Both he and Paul Byron (hip) are expected to play.
