This was just the third goal of the campaign for Rigoni, who had lost his starting spot before the midseason break and will hope this performance helps him to get it back.

Gallagher, that sometimes is deployed in a more advanced role, is enjoying a career season with Austin, with five goals and two assists over 24 regular season appearances (21 starts).

Impact Rigoni has not played since mid-July after injuring his knee against Vancouver and hasn't started since early June, so his fantasy appeal will be limited even if he's available. Given the inactivity period, it wouldn't be surprising if Rigoni comes off the bench to face St. Louis, assuming he's deemed available for the match.
