Fresh off scratch, Canadiens’ Brendan Gallagher to return vs. Ducks

The Montreal Canadiens and visiting Anaheim Ducks both will be playing the second game of back-to-back sets when they face off on Sunday night.

The Canadiens, who reside in third place in the Atlantic Division, saw their three-game winning streak snapped on Saturday night with a 4-2 home loss to the San Jose Sharks.

Cole Caufield returned from a one-game absence due to illness to score his career-high 38th goal. Captain Nick Suzuki also tallied, defenseman Noah Dobson had two assists and Jakub Dobes made 17 saves for Montreal.
