Montreal Canadiens winger Brendan Gallagher has been a fan favorite for a long time in this town. When a young player is being compared to Gallagher, you’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger compliment.
“Lavallagher,” as fans have coined him, is undersized but has the heart of a lion and the motor to complement it. Rafael Harvey-Pinard never takes a shift off, and he has a knack for scoring goals in tight.
Due to injuries in the Habs lineup, Harvey-Pinard got his shot to play big minutes with the Canadiens’ top players. He fit in quite nicely and didn’t let his opportunity go to waste.
