Kirby Dach Injured
The Montreal Canadiens will be missing their second line centre Kirby Dach on Tuesday night when they take on the Carolina Hurricanes. The 24-year-old pivot missed Monday morning's practice in Brossard even though he did finish the game on Saturday night. This morning, the organization announced he was dealing with a lower body injury which is still being evaluated. Slafkovsky Knows What He Has To DoDoes Nick Suzuki Have Another Level to Rise To?Canadiens Held Annual Skills Contest The big forward spent 13:43 on the ice on Saturday and started his last shift at 18:38 of the third period and was on the ice for 38 seconds. There was no sign that he might have been injured. While he was at the skills competition on Sunday he was riding the pine alongside Josh Anderson for the duration of the event. It's not unheard of that a player tweaks something that no-one notices and has to miss time because of it, however, given Dach's injury history, it could be seen as worrying. Could it be an issue with the knee he was operated on last season? That cannot be ruled out, especially since it takes a bit of time for a new injury to be evaluated. Someone who sprains their knee can carry on playing on the day, but wake up the next morning unable to straighten the leg or bend it past a certain point. It will be interesting to see what the news are on that front in the coming days, a lengthy absence is certainly not what Dach needs. His season has been underwhelming so far and he has yet to prove that he should be part of the Canadiens' core going forward. With a single year left on his contract after this season, it's high time for Dach to show what he can do if he would life to still be around when Montreal is ready to contend.
