Along with Evan Barlow, Gallagher was one of the forwards who stepped up down the stretch and helped Cornell make the NCAA Regional Final.
The Bigger Picture: Talk about a gamer, this is a guy who played through a high ankle sprain during the postseason and worked himself into the Cornell lineup in a playoff series against Rensselaer, the ECAC Hockey Championship Weekend in Albany and the Midwest Regional in Grand Rapids. His contributions helped Cornell keep some consistency among its top six forwards, but the Big Red will need three good scoring lines to remain near the top of an increasingly good ECAC Hockey league.
Cornell head coach Mike Schafer on Gallagher’s versatility: “We were kind of forced to play him on the right wing because of his injury but we found out that he liked to play that side. We expect that he will be one of the top forwards in ECAC Hockey this year.”
