Brendan Gallagher's comments hint at Alex Newhook's absence timeline after leaving the game vs. the Stars
Last night, all evening long, we were getting questions about how long forward Alex Newhook will be out.
No need to remind anyone that Newhook was having a truly impressive start to the season with the Montreal Canadiens, putting up 12 points in 17 games (including last night), with six goals and six assists.
Everything points to the team having to go without him for a while...
Even though head coach Martin St. Louis refused to comment further on Newhook's injury...
"Martin St-Louis says he doesn't know the severity of Alex Newhook's injury as he's still be evaluated."
- Priyanta Emrith
But Brendan Gallagher, on the other hand, had absolutely no problem speaking up.
Brendan Gallagher says it was tough to see Alex Newhook get injured:
"We're going to be without Newy for a little bit here; a player that worked hard in the offseason...was having an unbelievable year and you just feel for him at this point."

So expect a pretty disappointing length of absence for Alex Newhook
For those who still haven't seen the concerning footage, it's right here:
This was truly a night to forget for the Montreal Canadiens.
