"I Love Playing Here": Habs' Kirby Dach Sends a Clear Message to Fans After OT Win in Game 3 Amid Heavy Scrutiny
Dach’s line combined for 6 points, and the Canadiens’ 3-2 overtime win gave Montreal a 2-1 series lead.
- On Friday, Montreal Canadiens forward Kirby Dach recorded a goal and an assist in the team's 3-2 overtime victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Bell Centre, giving Montreal a 2-1 series lead.
- Following a defensive lapse in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning, the 6-foot-4 center faced intense online vitriol, forcing him to delete his Instagram account.
- Head coach Martin St. Louis refused to bench the veteran, instead pairing him with Alexandre Texier and Zachary Bolduc; the new line was on the ice for all three Montreal goals.
- Lane Hutson secured the game-winning goal 2:09 into overtime, while the Bell Centre crowd showered Dach with "Kir-by" chants throughout the game, marking a stark turnaround from Tuesday's contest.
- Teams leading a best-of-seven series 2-1 have won 69 per cent of the time, positioning the Canadiens favorably ahead of Game 4 on Sunday in Montreal.
