Brendan Gallagher Absent from Practice Again: Canadiens Will Hold Press Conference Shortly
We have news from the Montreal Canadiens today.
As the team prepares to hit the ice for practice, the organization announced that forward Brendan Gallagher will once again be absent to receive another day of treatment.
Clearly, Gallagher is unfortunately dealing with something.
Brendan Gallagher is sent to rest, and a press conference is to be watched immediately after Canadiens practice
See the official announcement.
The team will indeed hold press conferences after today's practice, and we should learn more at that time about Gallagher's condition, but it's clear he isn't 100%.
Let us remember that the Canadiens' number 11 is having a superb start to the season, with 10 points in 19 games, including 8 goals. He's also been one of the club's most engaged players, game after game.
It must be emphasized: Gallagher has been excellent this season!
Let's hope injuries don't derail his season yet again, but for now, there's no reason to be overly worried.
In any case, as mentioned above, Martin St-Louis is likely to provide an update on Brendan Gallagher during today's press conference (around noon).
Gallagher, 32 years old, earns $6.5 million per year until the summer of 2027, and it's fair to say that this season, he is more than earning his annual salary.
He has amassed 436 points in 771 career NHL games (226 goals), all with the Montreal Canadiens.
Gally is a true warrior!
