Of course, that shouldn’t be a consideration when making lineup decisions, but it would be an absolute shame for Gallagher to suffer the same fate as Andrei Markov, who came up short with 990 games played. Perhaps, if it comes to that, he could be signed to a new contract that would be terminated once the milestone is reached, just like the Canadiens did with Tomas Plekanec. In five games, he will join Patrice Brisebois in 14th place for the most games played with the Habs.
