BROSSARD – Every time Alex Galchenyuk has touched the puck of late, it seems like something good has happened.
On Thursday night, the 22-year-old centerman didn’t miss a beat, registering his third straight multi-goal game in the Canadiens’ 3-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. It marked the fifth time in his last eight games that Galchenyuk had scored twice in a single contest, a feat that hadn’t been accomplished by a Montreal Canadiens player in 57 years. Hall-of-Famer Jean Beliveau was the last man to do it, going on a similar streak between February 28 and March 15, 1959.
