Today’s news is exciting for the entire Canadiens fan base, who have witnessed Gallagher grow up over the years. The 32-year-old is the team’s longest-tenured player, with his rookie season coming back in 2012-13.
Despite battling plenty of injuries throughout his career, Gallagher has been a very effective player for the Canadiens throughout his 780-game career, racking up 226 goals and 439 points, along with 527 penalty minutes. Through 28 games so far in 2024-25, he’s scored eight goals and 13 points.
He’s also turned into a great leader for the organization, having served as an assistant captain for the past 10 seasons.
Canadiens fans will now eagerly await for the young couple to announce the birth of their first child later this winter.
