Montreal Canadiens get the worst possible news about Kirby Dach
Saturday night when the Montreal Canadiens faced off against the Chicago Blackhawks, during the game forward Kirby Dach was forced to leave the game after a collision with jarred Tinordi. The hit sent Dach into the Blackhawks bench and he was obviously shaken up. He'd return to the Canadiens bench and but would not return.
News surfaced earlier that the diagnosis for Dach was not a positive one. Eric Engels initially reported this morning that the injury was expected to keep Dach out long-term, now the definition of long-term is becoming more clear.
Initial word I'm receiving on Canadiens' Kirby Dach is he has a torn ACL+torn MCL in his knee. There are more tests being done, and we'll wait for Habs to officially confirm once they're received all the info, but this puts Dach's season at risk if it ends up being the case
It now appears that Dach will be forced to undergo season ending surgery, which just adds to the long list of injuries he's had to battle since being drafted.
