Price and Gallagher are headed to Laval to play in the Rocket's final game of the season

The Canadiens have announced that the team has reassigned Brendan Gallagher and Carey Price to the Laval Rocket on long term injury conditioning loans. Both will dress for the Rocket's final game of the season on Monday against the Toronto Marlies.

The Habs forward and goaltender will practice with the Rocket on Monday morning at 10:00 a.m. Price is expected to play half the game.

Gallagher suffered an upper body injury on April 5 against the Oilers and missed the final 21 games of the season. Price suffered a concussion during the game against the Oilers on April 19 and missed the remainder of the season.

Both are expected to be in the lineup when the Canadiens face the Maple Leafs in Game 1 of the first round of the 2021 Playoffs on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

It's not often you see players of this calibre in the minors, but with the playoffs coming up and both Price and Gallagher being on the sidelines for so long, the team wants to make sure they're ready to go.
