MONTREAL, QC – Brendan Gallagher's piano career came to a crashing halt on Sunday night after taking a Johnny Boychuk slapshot to the hand.

The Canadiens' forward tried to regain his composure after blocking the shot, but left the ice in noticeable pain and with a couple of fingers out of joint. While in the dressing room, the team doctor informed him that he would never play piano again. His teacher, who attends all of his games, was on hand for the news.
