Brendan Gallagher

Brendan Gallagher contributed two assists, four PIM, and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Fantasy Impact

Gallagher is off to a nice start with three assists through the first two games of the season. The veteran winger is skating in a middle-six role and is coming off a solid 21-goal, 38-point campaign. While he hasn't reached the 40-point mark since 2019-20, an improved Canadiens roster could provide a better offensive environment for him. He's a viable streaming option or depth forward in deeper fantasy leagues.

Brendan Gallagher tallied a goal and an assist, added three hits, and finished with a plus-2 rating in Saturday’s 5-2 victory over Ottawa. The veteran winger has posted back-to-back multi-point performances, with five goals and three assists over his last 12 outings.

Fantasy Impact

Gallagher remains a steady depth option, contributing across multiple categories while maintaining a third-line role with second-unit power-play time. His 15 goals, 25 points, 107 shots, and 63 hits through 57 games suggest he can provide value in deep leagues. While his scoring remains streaky, he’s showing flashes of strong secondary production.

Gallagher lit the lamp twice, accounting for two of the Canadiens’ three goals in their 5-3 defeat. He recorded three shots on goal and delivered a pair of hits in 13:50 of action. Despite the strong personal performance, Montreal was unable to contain the Lightning’s offense.

Fantasy Impact

Gallagher remains a spark plug in Montreal’s forward group, capable of finding the back of the net in tight quarters. While injuries have hampered his consistency in the past, his current production suggests he can be a useful depth scorer. Managers in mid-to-deep leagues should keep him in mind for goals and peripheral stats like hits.

Brendan Gallagher found the back of the net on the power play in Tuesday’s 4-3 victory over San Jose. He led all Canadiens skaters with five shots on goal and snapped a six-game goalless streak with his third-period tally. This marked his first power-play point since Nov. 23.

Fantasy Impact

Gallagher’s willingness to fire the puck makes him a reliable depth option, as he now sits at 12 goals and 101 shots through 53 games. However, his bottom-six role and minus-11 rating limit his overall fantasy appeal. While his power-play production has been minimal this season, his ability to generate chances makes him a viable streaming option in deeper leagues.

Brendan Gallagher tallied a goal and an assist, firing five shots on net and adding two penalty minutes in the Canadiens' 5-4 overtime victory against the Rangers on Sunday. Gallagher and Christian Dvorak combined for Montreal’s first two goals in the contest.

Fantasy Impact

Gallagher’s two-point performance snapped a nine-game scoreless streak and marked his fourth multi-point game of the season. The 32-year-old winger has been a reliable presence on the Canadiens' third line, contributing 11 goals, eight assists, 84 shots on net, and 49 hits across 46 games. While his minus-5 rating limits his value in some formats, Gallagher’s blend of offense and physical play makes him a serviceable depth option in deeper leagues, particularly for managers needing multi-category contributors.
