(Sunrise) Martin St-Louis hopes that the return of a proud veteran can revive his club Thursday night at Sunrise.
Brendan Gallagher, who has not played since November 29 due to an injury the nature of which has not been disclosed by the club, will return to action on Thursday evening in Florida, when the Canadian will play on the Panthers ice rink.
Gallagher will complete a line with Christian Dvorak and Juraj Slafkovsky.
“He’s a guy who leads by example,” explained the Montreal coach before the game against the Panthers. “He comes at a good time, we need him. »
It’s unclear if the Canadian needs Evgenii Dadonov, but regardless, the Russian player will be back in the lineup, having been left out in the team’s last two games.

In defense, nothing changes, so the Canadian will go there again with a formation of five rookie defenders, like the day before in Tampa.
It is Samuel Montembeault who will be in front of the Canadian net.
