(Vancouver) Forward Brendan Gallagher, who missed the Canadiens’ first two games in Western Canada, will be out “for at least two weeks,” the Habs said on their official Twitter account on Monday.
As a result, he won’t face the Vancouver Canucks in the evening.
The 30-year-old veteran has scored three goals and five assists in 22 games this season with CH.
In addition, defender David Savard will also be absent against the Canucks because he is injured in the upper body. The state of health of the Quebec defender will be reassessed on a daily basis, it was specified.
Head coach Martin St-Louis’ men will complete their four-game road trip by visiting the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night.
