Dach had a goal and an assist in a 7-3 win against the Avalanche on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The points were Dach's first since his return from injury on Jan. 20, and his first since Nov. 8, 2025 (eight games). He has never lived up to his promise as the third overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. And he's never been healthy -- Dach has never played more than 70 games a season, and that was 2021-22. Yes, there's promise, but there are a lot of headaches, too.

Dach (hand) returned to Saturday's game versus the Bruins, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dach was previously labeled as questionable to return. He fought Jonathan Aspirot and sustained a hand injury, but it's apparently not enough to keep Dach out of action at this time.

Dach sustained a hand injury in a fight during Saturday's game against Boston and is questionable to return to the match, per Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette.

EDGE Analysis

Dach had 3:50 of ice time and received a five-minute major for sparring with Jonathan Aspirot before exiting the game. The 25-year-old Dach was appearing in just his third game since returning from a foot injury. If Dach can't play Tuesday versus Vegas, then Joe Veleno might draw back into the lineup.

Dach (foot) was activated off long-term injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's clash with Minnesota, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Dach is set to suit up for the first time since Nov. 15 versus the Bruins, a stretch of 31 games on the shelf due to his foot problem. With his injury concerns behind him, Dach figures to step into a top-six role and should see minutes with the man advantage.

Dach (foot) was moved to long-term injured reserve, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Canadiens also shifted Kaiden Guhle (groin) to LTIR in moves that probably occurred after the team acquired Phillip Danault (illness) from the Kings on Friday. Dach has missed the last 16 games and may not be ready to return until the calendar flips to 2026.

Dach (foot) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Dach has missed the last three games and could be out until late December. He has five goals, two assists, 22 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 21 hits across 15 appearances this season.

Dach (fractured foot) will miss the next 4-6 weeks, the Canadiens announced Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dach was in the midst of a four-goal month of November, but this news will put the Canadiens center's season on hold. The 24-year-old has five goals and two assists in 15 games this season with a minus-2 rating. It's a big opportunity for Joshua Roy, who was called up Sunday, to gain some traction with the team and play meaningful minutes in the NHL.

Dach scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mammoth.

EDGE Analysis

Dach picked off a pass and scored on a breakaway late in the third period. He's now racked up four goals over his last three games despite primarily featuring in a bottom-six role in that span. The Canadiens' offense is pretty good, so there are goals to go around, and Dach's talented enough to get his share. He's at seven points, 19 shots on net, 13 hits, 11 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-2 rating over 12 appearances.

Dach scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Dach has three goals over his last two games. The 24-year-old had been dropped to the fourth line earlier in the season, but his recent rebound in performance has gotten him back into the middle six. Overall, he has four goals, two helpers, 17 shots on net, 12 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 11 appearances.

Dach scored two goals in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Dach cut the score to 3-1 early in the second period to queue Montreal's comeback. He fired a rebound off the end boards from deep in the right circle that beat Dan Vladar. Then 1:03 later, he snapped a one-timer into the left side of a gaping net from the bottom of the left circle on a cross-ice pass from Ivan Demidov. Dach snapped a five-game goal drought. He has three goals, two assists and 15 shots in 10 contests this seasons.
