Montreal Canadiens’ Kirby Dach (upper-body) out 2-4 weeks
Montreal Canadiens forward Kirby Dach will miss two-to-four weeks with an upper-body injury, the team announced on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old exited Sunday’s game against the Anaheim Ducks three minutes into the first period after taking a hit from Ducks’ winger Jeffrey Viel. Dach fell to the ice and gingerly made his way back to the dressing room before he was ruled out for the rest of the game.

Dach already missed 31 games this season due to a fractured foot he sustained in late November.
The Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., native has eight goals and 14 points in 32 games this season, his fourth in Montreal.
He was drafted third overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and has recorded 51 goals and 135 points in 301 NHL games. Injuries have been an issue for Dach throughout his NHL career, as he has averaged just 43 games per season over his seven-year NHL career and has never played more than 70, a number he hit in 2021-22 with the Blackhawks.
