Alex Galchenyuk is having a season to remember.

The Montreal Canadiens forward fired his 26th goal of the season past Florida Panthers goaltender Al Montoya on Tuesday and in the process collected point No. 47 on the season, surpassing his previous season high set in 2014-15.

The goal is Galchenyuk's seventh in five games and gives him a two-goal cushion over captain Max Pacioretty for the team lead.

Unfortunately, the goal did little for the Canadiens, who trailed the Panthers 3-1 after Galchenyuk got on the board.
