Former Blackhawk now Canadien Kirby Dach in troubling development regarding injury
There's concerning news out of Montreal, as Kirby Dach was missing from the team's practice today.
Head Coach Martin St. Louis wouldn't confirm or deny Dach's status when he was about the center's absence today.
This is worrying news for Dach himself, and Montreal fans who have yet to experience a full season of hockey with "Dacher" on the ice.
Martin St. Louis said flat-out he didn't know what the issue was with Kirby Dach after being asked by a local reporter:
Reporter: "Are there any concerns with Kirby Dach? Is it possible he won't be able to play the next game after having a day of treatment (today)?"
Coach Martin St-Louis: "I don't know."
Not very helpful or reassuring for your fanbase or team.
Dach has only played 6 games in the last two seasons for the Canadiens, scoring only 3 points!
This is troubling news, as news of his status keeps shooting up in the media, this time with The Fourth Period reporting:
"I'm told Kirby Dach is doubtful for tomorrow's game."
Is Dach seriously injured? What happened?
We will keep you updated on the story as news develops with Dach's undisclosed injury. His status remains mysterious, and the Canadiens will miss his presence on the ice against the Los Angeles Kings if he isn't able to play tomorrow.
Kirby Dach was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks 3rd overall pick in the 1st round of the 2019 NHL Draft. The 6'4" 221-pound forward has been plagued by injuries lately and has played 216 games total in the NHL, only posting 100 points.
