There has been so much underachieving this season offensively. There are perhaps two players on the entire team that are achieving beyond expectations – Cole Caufield and Brendan Gallagher.
Last season, many were speculating if it would be a good idea to buy out the remaining years of Gallagher’s contract. He finished with a flourish, and this year he has picked up where he left off.
In the second period, with the Canadiens held in single digits halfway through the game in shots, Gallagher parked in front of the net where the pain comes, as well as the goals. He batted a rebound out of the air for his seventh of the year in 15 games.
Gallagher finishing with close to 40 would be a miracle, but that’s what he is on pace for almost at the quarter mark of the season. Gallagher with a 30 goal season would even be a miracle. For now, marvel at the work rate that never falters no matter what the score and the mood on the bench. He refuses to be deterred.
