According to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun, Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher will have a CT scan on Thursday afternoon for his jaw after he was cross-checked by Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Matt Niskanen in Game 5 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series on Wednesday night.

Late in the third period, Gallagher was cross-checked in the jaw by Niskanen and was bleeding from his mouth. No penalty was called on the play and Niskanen will have a hearing with NHL Player Safety regarding the incident. "We have confidence the video will show what it shows," Canadiens interim head coach Kirk Muller told reporters in the team's Zoom call on Thursday.
"Let's see what happens this afternoon," Flyers head coach Alain Vigneault told reporters regarding the hearing. "But in my estimation, Gallagher got up and seemed fine, he was talking to the referees.
"The whole time he was on the bench, he was talking to our players...I don't think it's Nisky's fault that he's taller than a bunch of guys."
Muller added that he was not counting out Gallagher for Game 6, but that was not based on any medical information and that Gallagher may have to leave the Toronto bubble to have further tests. "We're still waiting for feedback medically," he said.
Gallagher scored his first goal of the playoffs earlier in Game 5 as the Habs went on to win 5-3. The Flyers lead the series 3-2.
