THE MOJ: For Canucks Forward Brendan Gallagher, Coming Home Is Bittersweet

Brendan Gallagher has one assist in 12 games and was a healthy scratch as the Canucks adjust their lineup around the veteran forward.

  • On Tuesday, the Vancouver Canucks benched veteran forward Brendan Gallagher as a healthy scratch during their 6-5 overtime win in Anaheim, marking a difficult turn in his homecoming after 14 seasons with the Montreal Canadiens.
  • Struggles have defined the 34-year-old's season, with Gallagher recording just one assist in 12 games; the team, navigating a difficult start, removed the former Vancouver Giant from the lineup.
  • At home with his wife, Emily, and daughters Everly Mona Della and Ella, Gallagher finds perspective; his children couldnt care less about his statistics or lineup status.
  • His return to Vancouver follows the March 8, 2025, death of his mother, Della, who battled brain cancer for nearly four years; he honored her by naming his first daughter Everly Mona Della.
  • Gallagher intends to overcome this adversity using the work ethic that helped a fifth-round pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft carve out an NHL career, remaining positive and working hard to regain form.
