No one expected a Kirby Dach injury on Monday, but Martin St-Louis announced that his center player would miss Tuesday’s game against the Hurricanes due to a lower-body injury.
Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports investigated all day to get information about Dach’s injury and discovered a sequence where the Canadiens’ number 77 seems to take a hit to his right knee.

As he went to retrieve a puck in the corner of the Senators’ territory, Dach was hit by Cole Reinhardt, who made contact with his right knee.
What’s most worrying is that during his second-to-last presence on the ice, he skated for only 20 seconds before retiring to the bench, holding his right knee.
Lavoie is also questioning the information he received, saying that Dach is still being evaluated, but the injury reportedly dates back to Saturday – already two days ago.
TVA Sports’ informant thinks it’s possible to hope that the injury is not too serious and that Dach will not miss more than one game.
Maybe a little rest could do Kirby Dach some good, as he’s been struggling to find himself this season, with only 22 points in 57 games since the start of the campaign.

– Note.
There’s no connection between the Ville Husso trade to Anaheim and a potential John Gibson trade.
In AHL San Diego, Calle Clang is out month-to-month and Oscar Dansk is the only other goalie with experience. They want San Diego to make the playoffs.
Gibson is expected back this week.

– This is a player who could greatly help the Maple Leafs.
Should the #LeafsForever target Colton Parayko at the trade deadline?@RealKyper, @jtbourne & @SamAMcKee discuss what the #StlBlues defenceman would cost and what the Leafs should be willing to give up.
