Canadiens' veteran forward returning to the lineup after month-long absence
After missing the last month with a lower-body injury, Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher will return to the team's lineup on Thursday night against the Florida Panthers.
Gallagher, 30, has missed the last 13 games with his injury and his last game action came exactly one month ago, on November 29th against the San Jose Sharks.
In 22 games this season, the Edmonton native has eight points (three goals, five assists), ten penalty minutes and is a minus-three.
In addition to Gallagher, Evgenii Dadonov will return to the lineup for the first time since December 21st against Colorado. He's been a healthy scratch for the last two games. To make room for Gallagher and Dadonov, Michael Pezzetta and Anthony Richard have been made healthy scratches for Thursday's tilt.
Puck drop for Montreal's game in Florida against the Panthers is set for 7 p.m. ET and can be viewed on TSN2 and RDS.
