Dach scored a goal on four shots, dished a power-play assist and had three hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

As several players attempted to get a stick on a rebound, Dach swooped in and buried the puck while falling to the ice for his first goal of the season, which increased Montreal's lead to 2-0. He later was the primary assistant on Alex Newhook's power-play tally six seconds into a St. Louis penalty. Since moving to the top line as a replacement for the injured Juraj Slafkovsky (shoulder), Dach has three points in two games.

Dach logged a power-play assist, four shots, three blocks and one hit in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Dach had a secondary assist on a power-play goal, his second point of the season and first in six games. He moved onto the top line after the Canadiens announced Juraj Slafkovsky (upper body) would be out at least a week. The club hopes Dach's presence on a line with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield will trigger his scoring touch.

Dach registered a power-play assist and three hits in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Dach was limited to two games last season after tearing his right ACL and MCL in his knee. While still just 23, he's been limited to 130 games out of a possible 246 over the last three years, though he has 66 points in that span. As long as he can stay healthy, he has upside as the Canadiens' second-line center, and his potential is further heightened by his spot on the top power-play unit.

Dach (knee) was on the ice for Monday's informal skate ahead of the start of training camp.

EDGE Analysis

Dach missed nearly the entire 2023-24 campaign due to his knee injury, having logged just two games with the club last year in which he generated two assists, three shots on goal and three hits. Heading into the upcoming campaign, the 23-year-old center should be expected to take the next step in his development and build upon his 2022-23 season after putting up 14 goals and 24 assists during that campaign. Set for a top-six role, Dach should benefit by playing with offseason acquisition Patrik Laine.

Dach underwent surgery Tuesday to repair torn ligaments in his right knee, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dach is expected to make a full recovery before the start of next season. The forward suffered the injury during the second game of the season, when Chicago's Jarred Tinordi checked him into the boards.

Dach (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Dach will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign after sustaining tears to the ACL and MCL in his right knee. He suffered the injury in Montreal's second game of the season against Chicago on Oct. 14.

Dach (knee) suffered a torn right ACL and MCL, which will require season-ending surgery.

EDGE Analysis

Dach had two assists in two games before sustaining the devastating injury. The 22-year-old will miss the remainder of 2023-24, though the timing of the surgery may allow him to be ready for training camp in September. The Canadiens have not announced an official timeline for his return.

Dach (lower body) is expected to be out of action long term, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Dach is still being evaluated regarding the full extent and severity of his lower-body injury but the current outlook is not good. At this point, fantasy managers should probably be expecting Dach to be placed on injured reserve, if not LTIR, in the coming days. With Dach out of action, Sean Monahan figures to move into the second-line center role while Brendan Gallagher could see an uptick in power-play ice time.

Dach sustained a lower-body injury during Saturday's game against Chicago and won't return to the contest.

EDGE Analysis

Dach might have suffered the injury when he absorbed a big hit from Chicago's Jarred Tinordi late in the first period, which knocked him into the Blackhawks' bench, per Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago. Dach logged 4:40 of ice time before exiting the contest. If he's not available for Tuesday's game against Minnesota, Michael Pezzetta might make his season debut.

Dach had two assists, three shots on goal and three hits over 21:22 of ice time in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

The Canadiens' second line produced two goals and five points on the night. Alex Newhook struck twice, and Dach was the secondary helper on both. Dach also skated on the first-unit power play, getting 3:59 of ice time with Montreal up a skater. The 2019 third-overall draft pick by Chicago resurrected his career after joining Montreal last season, when he registered 38 points in 58 games. Dach will be allotted top-six minutes and begins the season on a line with two other first-round picks, Newhook (16th overall, 2019) and Juraj Slafkovsky (first overall, 2022).
