Gallagher (groin) will travel with the Canadiens for their upcoming two-game road trip, but will miss Tuesday's contest with the Red Wings, John Lu of TSN Montreal reports.

Analysis:

Gallagher has been out since March 5, and this news bodes well for a return to action either Thursday or Saturday. This current ailment is the second major setback of the year for the 23-year-old, who's played in only 49 contests, but has been productive, as he's tallied 18 goals and 17 helpers. When healthy, the winger's fantasy value gets an uptick from his power-play contributions -- he's averaging 2:57 of man-advantage ice time per game, resulting in nine points.
