Brendan Gallagher has served his five-game suspension, and will be in the lineup for his first game in three weeks tonight. One of his eight goals came in the first match of the season series with the New York Rangers, and he’ll be looking to add another to make up for lost time.
The Habs are coming off a solid effort versus the Anaheim Ducks, and have the safety of Samuel Montembeault in net for this one. The only way to end the Rangers’ winning streak is to score a few goals to outpace a deep offensive team, which means Montreal’s own depth will play a significant role in this contest.
