  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Unavailable Thursday

    Dach (lower body) will not play against San Jose on Thursday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

    Dach's status will be updated Friday, ruling him out of Thursday's tilt. The 24-year-old will miss his second straight game. He has 10 goals, 12 assists, 100 hits and 84 shots on goal over 57 appearances this season.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Not playing Tuesday

    Dach (lower body) won't play against Carolina on Tuesday, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.

    Dach will sit out at least one game after missing Monday's practice. He has generated 10 goals, 22 points, 84 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and 100 hits through 57 games this season. Owen Beck will replace Dach in Tuesday's lineup.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Dealing with lower-body injury

    Dach (lower body) is being evaluated and won't participate in Monday's practice.

    Dach has accounted for 10 goals, 22 points, 84 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and 100 hits through 57 games this season. The Canadiens recalled Owen Beck from AHL Laval on Monday. If Dach and Michael Pezzetta (lower body) can't play against Carolina on Tuesday, Beck could draw into the lineup.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Contributes assist in loss

    Dach logged an assist and four hits in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

    Dach has three helpers over his last two outings. He assisted on Logan Mailloux's tally in the third period of this contests. Dach continues to play in a second-line role and is now at 22 points, 82 shots on net, 93 hits, 34 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a minus-27 rating through 54 appearances. His physical play is a plus, but the offense doesn't outweigh his iffy numbers in other areas.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Earns two helpers in win

    Dach notched a pair of assists and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

    Dach helped out on an Alex Newhook tally in the second period and Brendan Gallagher's power-play goal in the third. The 24-year-old Dach has three multi-point efforts over his last 11 contests, earning four goals and three assists in that span. While he hasn't been very consistent, he's at least chipping in semi-regularly on offense. The center has 10 goals, 11 helpers, seven power-play points, 82 shots on net, 89 hits, 38 PIM, 34 blocked shots and a minus-26 rating through 53 appearances this season.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Tally, assist in loss

    Dach scored a goal on one shot and logged an assist in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Detroit. He added two hits and two PIM.

    Dach's wraparound backhander in the second period cut the Red Wings lead to 3-1. The tally and assist continued a productive stretch for the winger, who has eight goals and 10 points over the last 14 outings.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Continues hot stretch

    Dach scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Toronto.

    Dach scored the first of Montreal's three first-period goals, and it looked like the Habs were cruising when they took a 3-0 lead into the first intermission. The tally was Dach's seventh in the last 11 outings, during which he has eight points. He had nine points through the first 34 games played, and it could be that Dach's finally over the knee injury that cost him all but two games in 2023-24.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Scores twice Tuesday

    Dach scored a pair of goals, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Utah.

    Dach gave the Canadiens their first lead with a goal at 18:34 of the second period. He also added an insurance tally late in the third. The 23-year-old has looked good lately with six goals and an assist over his last nine contests. For the season, the second-line center has eight goals, 16 points, 70 shots on net, 70 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-23 rating through 43 appearances, but it looks like his game has taken an upward turn in recent weeks.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Strikes on power play

    Dach scored a power-play goal on two shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

    Dach remains on sizzle since the holiday break -- he has four goals and an assist over his last six games. Two of those points have come on the power play, which corresponds with his move to the top unit. The 23-year-old is also on the second line at even strength. Dach has six goals, 14 points, 64 shots on net, 65 hits, 28 PIM, 26 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating over 40 appearances this season, but he's trending in the right direction now.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Supplies game winner

    Dach scored a goal on three shots, blocked one shot and had a hit in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Vegas.

    Dach completed Montreal's comeback from a 2-0 first-period deficit when he slid a puck through the five hole of Vegas goalie Adin Hill midway through the third period. It's been a rough start to the season for Dach, who has just five goals over 37 outings, but he, along with several other Canadiens, has emerged from a funk. He's potted three goals over the last three games.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Doubles goal output in win

    Dach scored two goals on three shots, blocked one shot and had one hit in Saturday's 4-0 win over Florida.

    Dach scored 99 seconds into the second period, getting barely enough on a feed from Alex Newhook to beat Florida's Spencer Knight. He was perfect on the second tally 12 minutes later breaking in alone on Knight and beating him with a backhander. The two strikes upped his goal output to four in 35 outings.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Finds twine vs. Anaheim

    Dach scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Ducks.

    Dach found the back of the net in the early stages of the second period, and he did it only 11 seconds after Troy Terry had given Anaheim the lead with a power-play goal. This was Dach's second marker of the season -- and first since Oct. 26 -- and he has only nine points across 28 games this season, so he doesn't have a lot of fantasy value despite holding a top-six role.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Costly penalty leads to loss

    Dach had four shots on goal, two hits and four PIM in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

    Dach did some good things Saturday -- he played with an edge and his four shots were the most since Oct. 26 -- but his double-minor for high-sticking with 2:40 left in a tied game wasn't one of them. The infraction was more of a failed stick lift than an egregious offense, but that didn't matter when the Rangers eventually potted the winning tally with 24 seconds remaining while Dach was in the penalty box.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Goal drought reaches 12

    Dach had one shot on net, one hit and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Dach's most notable contribution was a giveaway in his own end that resulted in Vegas' second goal. He's now gone 12 games without lighting the lamp, and much of that stretch came while he pulled shifts on the top line. The 23-year-old forward eventually skated on the fourth line in the final period. Dach has one goal, seven assists, 36 shots, 40 hits, 13 blocks, 10 PIM with a team-low minus-15 rating over 20 outings.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Ends point slump in Monday's win

    Dach provided two assists in a 7-5 triumph over Buffalo on Monday.

    Dach had the secondary helper on two second-period goals by Nick Suzuki. Entering Monday's game, the 23-year-old Dach didn't have a point in six consecutive outings. He has one goal and six helpers through 16 appearances this season.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Spends time on top line Saturday

    Dach had two shots, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Dach opened the contest on the second line but eventually replaced Josh Anderson on the top unit. Dach spent some time on the top line earlier this year, as head coach Martin St. Louis attempts to balance scoring threats in the top six. Dach has a team-worst minus-14 rating through 12 appearances.

  • Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Minus-3, off top line

    Dach had one shot on net, two blocks, one hit, two PIM and finished minus-3 in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Kraken.

    Instead of reintegrating Juraj Slafkovsky, fresh off a three-game absence due to an upper-body injury, to the top line, head coach Martin St. Louis let Dach skate with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. That's the best assignment a Canadien forward can have. However, that alignment didn't last long. By the time the second period started with the Habs down 4-1, the coach reunited Slafkovsky on the top unit, and Dach was moved back to the second line, where he was to begin the season. Dach appeared to lose his coverage assignment on Seattle's first goal 25 seconds into the game and again on the sixth goal midway through the second period. He played one more shift in the second and just four in the third for a total of 3:41 TOI over the final two periods of the game. Dach's minus-12 through 10 appearances is the lowest among all Montreal skaters.
