MONTREAL — It was a triumphant return for Brendan Gallagher, Artturi Lehkonen and the rest of the Montreal Canadiens.
Gallagher and Lehkonen had a goal and an assist apiece as Montreal earned a dominant 4-0 home win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. The Canadiens were playing for the first time since a 5-4 home shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks on March 20.
Two days later, Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Joel Armia both went on the NHL’s COVID-19 list and as a result the Canadiens had four games postponed -- three with Edmonton and another versus Ottawa.
