Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher: Back at it
Rotowire
Gallagher (lower body) will be activated off injured reserve and return to the lineup versus the Lightning on Tuesday, Luc Gelinas of RDS reports.

Rotowire
Gallagher (lower body) is expected to be shelved for at least six weeks, the team announced Wednesday.
