Once again, last night against the Columbus Blue Jackets, we had a worrying sequence involving Montreal Canadiens veteran Brendan Gallagher.
Several plays stood out last night, and not in a good way. Gallagher showed clear signs of struggle in yet another Canadiens loss, making the concerns increasingly hard to ignore.
The passionate and hard-working number 11 of the Canadiens is showing troubling signs of slowing down, and he seems to have lost a lot of agility and speed on the ice.

After a very solid end to the 2024-2025 season, Gallagher is unrecognizable at the moment.

This is obviously not ideal, but let's hope Gallagher bounces back quickly, as he did so well last year.
Let's not underestimate Gally's strength of character and his pretty incredible ability to prove his critics wrong.
Brendan Gallagher, 33 years old, is a 5-foot-9, 185-pound forward who was a 5th-round pick by the Montreal Canadiens in 2010 (147th overall), and he has 7 points in 19 games this season (0 goals).
You read that correctly... He is still searching for his first goal of the season!
In his NHL career, we're talking about 239 goals and 232 assists (471 points) in 853 games for Brendan Gallagher.
Do you think he will bounce back this season?
