Undergoing his typical pre-game routine, Alex Galchenyuk appears ready to re-insert back into Montreal's lineup for the first time in over a month as the Canadiens prepare for their pivotal Game 2 showdown with the New York Rangers.

Galchenyuk did his pregame dribbling routine on the bench. Expect him to play. Book it. #habs — Eric Engels (@EricEngels) May 19, 2014

The sophomore forward was injured April 9 in Chicago after being pinched along the boards by Marian Hossa.

He scored 13 goals and 31 points in 65 games for Montreal.

Michael Bournival is expected to sit in favor of Galchenyuk, per Dan Rosen of NHL.com.
