We learned some rather unexpected news this morning involving Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher.
In a statement that also mentioned Kirby Dach's injury as well as treatment days for David Savard and Josh Anderson, the organization announced that number 11 has temporarily left his teammates.
The Canadiens cited "personal reasons" in Gallagher's case, but no further details were provided regarding his status, particularly for tomorrow's game at the Bell Centre against the Carolina Hurricanes.
We now have a bit more information.
Martin St-Louis announces that Brendan Gallagher is questionable for tomorrow night's game
There is a real chance that Gallagher will be absent tomorrow night.
This is a situation we will be closely monitoring for you in the coming hours.
"In the cases of Savard, Anderson, and Gallagher, it will be reassessed tomorrow before the game against the Hurricanes."

So, they are all considered questionable.
This obviously explains the recall of young forward Owen Beck, which was announced earlier today by the Montreal Canadiens organization.
Gallagher has had a strong season with the Canadiens, recording 25 points in 57 games, including 15 goals. He is currently tied with Nick Suzuki for second in team goal scoring.
He is signed with the Canadiens until 2027, with an annual salary of just over six million dollars.
Gallagher has once again become an important player for the Canadiens, and hats off to him for the solid season he is having.
