Kirby Dach News

Dach has not played in over two months, recovering from a fractured foot, but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild. The 24-year-old Dach has struggled to live up to his third-overall selection in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, a struggle compounded by recurring injuries over the past few seasons. He has seven points (5G / 2A) in 15 games this season. With Alexandre Texier (lower body) out of the lineup, Dach will likely get the opportunity to fill in for him on the top line.

The 24-year-old Dach has struggled to live up to his third-overall selection in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, a struggle compounded by recurring injuries over the past few seasons. He has seven points (5G / 2A) in 15 games this season.

Dach recently saw an uptick in deployment after Alex Newhook (fractured ankle) was injured earlier this week in a game against the Dallas Stars. However, Dach's elevated deployment lasted only one game, as he will be sidelined for the next several weeks due to a fractured ankle. The 24-year-old Dach scored seven points (5G / 2A) in 15 games with the Canadiens this season before his injury.

Dach has not played in Montreal's previous three games, recovering from a lower-body injury, but will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 24-year-old Dach is averaging 14:29 time-on-ice and has two points (1G / 1A) in five games this season.

Dach has not played in Montreal's previous two games, recovering from a lower-body injury, but is nearing a return and will travel with the team on their upcoming four-game road trip. The 24-year-old Dach is averaging 14:29 time-on-ice and has two points (1G / 1A) in five games this season.

It's unclear when Dach picked up the injury, but he will not be available for Saturday's game vs. the Rangers. Joe Veleno is expected to make his Canadiens debut in Dash's place.

Dach will be sidelined for the remainder of the season after undergoing successful knee surgery. The 24-year-old Dach has not lived up to potential this season, recording 22 points (10G / 22A) and a -29 plus/minus in 57 games.

Dach and the Montreal Canadiens' worst fears were realized as it was confirmed he will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season with a torn ACL and MCL. Dach only had the opportunity to suit up twice this season, recording two points (0G / 2A), leaving before the completion of his second game. The 22-year-old has already battled a myriad of injuries in his young career. At least for the time being, newcomer Alex Newhook will presume the duties of second-line center for the Canadiens.

The Canadiens received terrible news Monday morning as Dach is expected to be out indefinitely after suffering a lower-body injury in Saturday's matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 22-year-old center had two assists, three shots, and three hits in his first two games of the season. Alex Newhook is expected to replace Dach as the second-line center.

Dach has 14 goals, 24 assists, 107 SOG, 43 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 58 games this season but will now miss at least a week due to an upper-body injury. The 22-year-old has battled injuries all season and will hope to be back in the shortest amount of time as he is having a breakout season in his first year in Montreal.

Dach last played for Montreal on February 14th due to a lower-body injury but will be back in the Canadiens lineup Tuesday. The 22-year-old was enjoying his most productive season to date prior to his injury, with 12 goals, 23 assists, 99 SOG, 43 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through 54 games prior to his injury.

Dach has 12 goals, 23 assists, 99 SOG, 43 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through 54 games played this season but will miss Thursday's contest vs. Carolina due to a non-covid-related illness. Rem Pitlick will replace him in the Canadiens lineup.

Dach will miss Saturday's game in Nashville with a shoulder sprain and will be replaced by Tyler Johnson. It's unclear how long Dach will be sidelined.

Dach missed the morning skate due to a non-COVID illness and will be a game-time decision vs. the Sabres. If Dach can't play, look for Philipp Kurashev to draw back into the lineup.
