Canadiens Forward Kirby Dach Out Two to Four Weeks with Upper-Body Injury

  • On Sunday night, Montreal forward Kirby Dach left the game with an upper-body injury after a high hit from Anaheim winger Jeffrey Viel, and Cutter Gauthier scored the winner as the Ducks won 4-3.
  • After Dach swatted at the puck and missed, Viel caught him three minutes into the first period in Anaheim's end.
  • Dach went to the bench and then the dressing room after the hit, and officials did not assess a penalty; Arber Xhekaj and Josh Anderson confronted Viel, who declined to fight.
  • Dach has eight goals and six assists through 31 games, raising immediate concern about Montreal's lineup depth as the Canadiens sit two points behind the Tampa Bay Lightning for second in the Atlantic Division.
  • The incident follows recent scrutiny after Radko Gudas was suspended five games for kneeing, ending Auston Matthews' season with a torn medial collateral ligament, raising wider safety concerns.
