Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher is out for a minimum of six weeks due to a lower-body injury, the team announced Wednesday.
Gallagher received a timeline of two weeks on Friday.
The 30-year-old has been limited to 25 games this season by various injuries. He's tallied four goals and nine points while playing 14:12 per game, the lowest average time on ice of his career since his rookie campaign.
The Canadiens are last in the Atlantic Division with a 16-22-3 record. Montreal faces the Nashville Predators on Thursday.
