The 22-year-old scored twice, including the overtime winner. He also added an assist as the Canadiens got by the Dallas Stars 4-3.
The game proved to be another showcase of one of the club's lone achievements this season. With his three-point effort Tuesday, Galchenyuk is now tied with captain Max Pacioretty for the team lead with 23 goals - a career high - and 44 points, just two shy of his career mark.
Galchenyuk has been on an incendiary pace while his club continues to struggle without No. 1 goalie Carey Price. The team has dropped four of its last five games and sits seven points outside of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
However, Galchenyuk has not slowed down. With a pair of goals Tuesday, he now has four multi-goal games in his last seven contests. His offensive production has been key for the Canadiens as his nine goals make up 45 percent of the team's total output in the last seven games.
Arguably the biggest catalyst for the growth in Galchenyuk's game appears to be the confidence head coach Michel Therrien has shown in the youngster.
Galchenyuk entered the season finally getting a chance to play center, his native position, after being used largely as a winger early in his career. Things have since changed with him now occupying the team's top trio.
Michel Therrien has no regrets in terms of not putting Galchenyuk back in the middle earlier. Says he's a completely different player now.

Skinner fired home his second goal of the game with just 0.3 seconds remaining on the clock to knot the game 3-3, setting the stage for defenseman Jaccob Slavin's shootout winner to complete the 4-3 comeback win.
Skinner hit the 25-goal mark for the third time in his career with the two markers while moving the Hurricanes within four points of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Meanwhile, anyone expecting a Cinderella-type surge like the one the Senators achieved last season is quickly being let down. With Tuesday's loss, Ottawa's dropped four of its last five games and has fallen behind Carolina in the standings.
The Senators will look to get back on track when they take on the Florida Panthers on Thursday, while the Hurricanes look to ride the momentum into Boston for their tilt against the Bruins.

The Boston Bruins are tied for the Atlantic Division lead with the Tampa Bay Lightning after beating their rivals in overtime Tuesday, with Brad Marchand scoring the game-winner - and the game's only goal - just 10 seconds into the extra frame.
The game-winner continues an incredible season for Marchand, whose 34th goal trails only Alex Ovechkin and Patrick Kane this season.
