Kirby Dach - Page 6 - NHL News & Rumors

Moves to top line Dach logged a power-play assist, four shots, three blocks and one hit in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Dach had a secondary assist on a power-play goal, his second point of the season and first in six games. He moved onto the top line after the Canadiens announced Juraj Slafkovsky (upper body) would be out at least a week. The club hopes Dach's presence on a line with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield will trigger his scoring touch.

Earns power-play assist Dach registered a power-play assist and three hits in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Dach was limited to two games last season after tearing his right ACL and MCL in his knee. While still just 23, he's been limited to 130 games out of a possible 246 over the last three years, though he has 66 points in that span. As long as he can stay healthy, he has upside as the Canadiens' second-line center, and his potential is further heightened by his spot on the top power-play unit.

Skating with team Dach (knee) was on the ice for Monday's informal skate ahead of the start of training camp.

Impact Dach missed nearly the entire 2023-24 campaign due to his knee injury, having logged just two games with the club last year in which he generated two assists, three shots and three hits. Heading into the upcoming campaign, the 23-year-old center should be expected to take the next step in his development and build upon his 2022-23 season after putting up 14 goals and 24 assists during that campaign. Set for a top-six role, Dach should benefit by playing with offseason acquisition Patrik Laine.
