It looks like things are getting serious for Montreal Canadiens forward Kirby Dach.
We saw it last season with David Reinbacher, but when a player is coming back from a major knee injury, there's a lot of management needed in terms of repetitions and workload.
Reinbacher, for example, couldn't even be on the ice two days in a row.
Kirby Dach is back on the ice today!
It was already excellent news to learn that Kirby Dach was on the ice in Brossard yesterday, but it's another great surprise to see him there again today.. for a second straight day!
Clearly, it really looks like he could actually start the season at his position, at 100%, and that would be huge for Martin St-Louis' squad.
Dach was joined by Ivan Demidov, Joe Veleno, Samuel Blais, Patrik Laine (him again), Zack Bolduc, Jake Evans, Jakub Dobes, and many others.
"Big morning of action at the Complex: Demidov, Veleno, Blais, Laine, Dach, Bolduc, Evans, Dobson, and Hughes' two sons are already on the ice for practice. Thanks to our representative."
Kent Hughes' two sons were also there!
Jack Hughes is 21 years old, a 6-foot, 169-pound center, and was a second-round pick of the Los Angeles Kings in 2022 in Montreal (51st overall).
He played for Boston University in the NCAA over the last two seasons.
In 2023-24, he collected 19 points in 38 games, and in 2024-25, he tallied 25 points in 40 games.
Riley Hughes is 25 years old, a 6-foot-2, 194-pound winger, and was a seventh-round pick of the New York Rangers in 2018 (216th overall).
Last season, he played for the Carolina Hurricanes' farm team, where he collected 8 points in 31 games.
In short, some nice surprises once again this morning in Brossard.
This was yesterday:
"Habs Kirby Dach is on the ice this morning in Brossard - a good sign after his second knee surgery in late February."
I'll repeat myself, but seeing him on the ice two days in a row is huge.
