Brendan Gallagher Confident Of Bouncing Back From Injuries
1 year agoMontreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher is hoping to get back to his best with a healthy season. The 31-year-old has skated in just 93 games across the previous two campaigns, looking like a shadow of his former self. Last season, Gallagher posted only 14 points (eight goals, six assists) in 37 outings. "I've had a good summer. I have hit all my numbers in the gym, I feel good on the ice," Gallagher told The Montreal Gazette's Steve Ewen. "It's just about getting a little bit of luck and staying healthy for a full season and I'll get back to where I need to be. I felt good last summer but I broke my ankle, and it was a frustrating year. I wasn't there two summers ago [coming off the playoff run], but I'm there now." In top form, Gallagher has been a 30-goal, 50-point player. Getting him near the same level would be like having a new player for the Canadiens. In total, Gallagher has notched 395 points (202 goals, 193 assists) in 675 career games.
