In recent years, Brendan Gallagher met his wife (Emma Fortin) and he proposed to her. And recently, she became pregnant with the couple’s first child.

We knew that at some point during the season, she would give birth.

Last week, when the Canadiens player was absent from practice (Monday) for personal reasons, we could wonder if it was related to the birth of his child.

And the answer, it’s clearly yes.

Yesterday evening, after the win against Buffalo, Gallagher confirmed that last week, he became a father. A little girl has been added to the Canadiens player’s family.

This is good news.

As the Canadiens are unbeaten since her birth, the little girl must think that the Canadiens have found a way to recreate a dynasty of yesteryear. Unless I’m mixing things up…

Let’s recall that Gallagher hasn’t missed a single game this season. His wife’s pregnancy and the birth of his daughter have not affected his ability to play so far.

And he’s also healthy for a second season in a row, which helps.

Note that the Canadiens will soon be leaving for a long trip to the West, which will end on March 12 in Seattle. It won’t be easy for the Canadiens’ veteran, who will have to leave his family behind for several days in order to help the team make the playoffs.

A long paternity leave is not in the NHL’s customs…
