Brendan Gallagher: Out Tuesday versus Stars

Gallagher (lower body) will miss Tuesday's game against the Stars, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Analysis:

The exact nature of his injury remains a bit of a mystery, as the team labeled his injury lower-body when he reportedly blocked a shot with his hand. A bright spot this season, the Canadiens could certainly use his services (35 points in 49 games) against one of the league's top teams (Stars), and it remains unclear at this point who will slot into his role on the top line. Gallagher will now turn his aim to rejoining the lineup Thursday against the Sabres, but expect another update on his status before then.
