Kirby Dach<\/a>‘s knee is probably the most closely watched knee in Montreal right now.<\/p>\nThe reason is quite simple.<\/p>\n
Make no mistake, the condition of Dach’s knee could have a huge impact on the Canadiens’ season.<\/p>\n
Important Development for Kirby Dach’s Knee Injury<\/p>\n
Today, for the very first time since his surgery, Dach seriously tested his knee, and it seems to have gone extremely well!<\/p>\n
We even have some footage, thanks to Patou Info and Frank Well Le Podcast Hockey:<\/p>\n
Let’s just say it looks very promising for training camp, and even for the start of the Canadiens’ season.<\/p>\n
Dach, Hutson, Demidov, Blais, Dobes, Kakkonen are among the players present.<\/p>\n
He appears to have passed a major first test today.<\/p>\n
Kirby Dach, 24 years old, is a 6-foot-4, 221-pound forward who was selected third overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2019 NHL Draft (1st round) and was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in 2022.<\/p>\n
Last season, he recorded 22 points in 57 games with the Habs, bringing his career total to 121 points in 269 games, including 43 goals.<\/p>\n
This is a major storyline to watch, but things clearly seem to be moving in the right direction for the player who is expected to be Martin St-Louis’ second-line center to start the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n
