Finally Healthy, Forward Kirby Dach Making an Impression at Canadiens Camp
Kirby Dach filled in on the Canadiens’ top unit and said he is focused on being a responsible 200-foot player after injuries limited him to 154 games.
- On Thursday, Montreal Canadiens forward Kirby Dach stepped into a prominent practice role, shifting to the right wing alongside Juraj Slafkovsky and Oliver Kapanen during an end-of-practice scrimmage.
- The 25-year-old is looking to solidify his lineup spot after appearing in just 154 of 328 games since a trade from the Chicago Blackhawks four years ago. "It feels good to be healthy," Dach said.
- Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis wants Dach to remain alert and play a responsible 200-foot game. "Sometimes, you have to do the little things right to set up the next line," Dach said.
- After a lethargic start to the 90-minute session, the Canadiens "tightened up" following a bag skate, according to Arber Xhekaj. Team A posted a 3-0 victory in the subsequent scrimmage.
- Montreal concludes its preseason schedule with split-squad games Saturday against the Ottawa Senators before opening its regular-season campaign Tuesday in Toronto against the Maple Leafs.
