Habs prospect Brendan Gallagher makes the hot list in this week's WJHC Power Rankings

"The product of Delta, B.C. surprised many by sticking with the Montreal Canadiens so long at training camp. Since his return, Gallagher scored a goal in each of his three games. Last week, he scored three times in two games with a plus-1 rating. Given that his junior coach, Don Hay, is also Canada's head coach, Gallagher will have every opportunity to earn a spot on this year's team."
