VANCOUVER — The Montreal Canadiens say forward Brendan Gallagher will miss at least two weeks with a lower-body injury.

Gallagher missed games at Calgary and Edmonton last week because of the injury. He had played every game of the season up to that point.

Gallagher has three goals and five assists in 22 games.

The Canadiens gave the update on Gallagher's injury before facing the Canucks on Monday night in Vancouver.
