We have just received new information regarding Kirby Dach's absence today, and it's not what we were hoping for.
So far, there was nothing concerning, especially since players rarely miss games after just a day of treatments.
However, in Dach's case, it could unfortunately be hiding something more worrisome.
It started with a response from Martin St-Louis during his daily press conference. Normally, he would have simply said that "Dacher" needed a day of treatments and would be back tomorrow, but that's not what he mentioned in the last few minutes.
Reporter: «Is there any concern that Kirby Dach won't be able to play after taking a treatment day today?»
Coach Marty St. Louis: «I don't know "
No, that's not reassuring at all.
To add more fuel to the fire, here's what David Calabretta from the reputable TFP network just reported.
« Hearing Kirby Dach is questionable for tomorrows game..»
Without saying it's serious, Dach clearly seems to be injured.
This is a situation to monitor closely in the coming hours for the Montreal Canadiens.
More details will follow.
Last season, he recorded 2 points in 2 games, and this season, 1 point in 4 games.
Update: The Canadiens have just released an official statement with more details.
