Galchenyuk had an assist in Thursday night's 4-3 loss to Detroit. The point gives him 50 for the season, the first time he's reached that plateau in his career.

EDGE Analysis

Galchenyuk becomes the first Canadien aged 22-years or younger to hit the 50-plateau since Andrei Kostitsyn (53 points) in 2007-08. We're betting Galchenyuk's career tracks better than Kostitsyn's, but he may need a new voice on the bench. As he's ben the Habs' most productive player over the past few weeks, it's odd that head coach Michel Therrien gave him less ice time (16:43) than the 31-year-old Torrey Mitchell (17:54). Therrien really needs to let the young guys play.
