The Montreal Canadiens suffered a blow on Sunday as forward Kirby Dach was forced to leave their game against the Anaheim Ducks following a high hit. The incident occurred during the second period and Dach immediately went to the dressing room and did not return. The team has not yet released an update on the severity of the injury.
Dach's injury is a significant concern for the Canadiens, as he is viewed as a key part of their young core. The Canadiens acquired Dach from the Chicago Blackhawks in 2022, hoping he could develop into a top-line center. He has shown flashes of potential, but injuries have hampered his progress.
The Ducks defeated the Canadiens 5-4. Montreal will face the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday. The team will likely provide an update on Dach's condition before then.
This latest setback for Dach is particularly disheartening given his history with injuries. Canadiens fans will be hoping for good news in the coming days, as Dach's health is crucial to the team's long-term success.
