Center player Kirby Dach has withdrawn to undergo treatment, according to what the CH announced. No. 77 missed most of last season after suffering a significant knee injury that required surgery.
After four games this season, Dach has collected one assist.
For the moment, everything indicates that he will be at his post for Thursday night’s game against the Los Angeles Kings.
Since the start of the season, the Habs have won two victories and suffered two losses.
Furthermore, head coach Martin St-Louis indicated after training that defender Jayden Struble had received the green light from doctors to return to play. He could play his first match of the 2024-2025 season on Thursday evening.
