The Montreal Canadiens said Wednesday that forward Brendan Gallagher will be out of National League rinks for at least six weeks.
The 30-year-old hockey player injured his lower body during the January 3 game against the Predators in Nashville. Gallagher previously missed 13 games in 2022-23 with another injury.
The Habs’ number 11 has hit the target four times and provided five assists for nine points in 25 games so far this season.
Gallagher is playing the second year of a six-year contract that earns him $6.5 million annually.
The Canadian will resume action on Thursday evening, when the “Preds” will be at the Bell Center.
