Kirby Dach faces injury scare on day one of Canadiens' training camp

However, the Montreal Canadiens forward appears to have hurt himself during a scrimmage at the Brossard, Quebec, training camp today.

In the first intra-squad game of training camp, Kirby Dach took a stick straight to the face, giving everyone a scare. Aware of the increased risk of head injuries in sports, coaches and fans held their breath when they saw him fall to the ice. The possibility of a concussion hung over the situation for a few moments, making it somewhat tense.

Thankfully, preliminary reports seem to show that he's unharmed and doesn't appear to have suffered any serious injuries. Naturally, we'll keep a careful eye on things and notify you if anything changes.

The Montreal Canadiens signed Dach from the Blackhawks during the 2022 draft, sending the 13th overall pick and a third-round selection back.

Kirby Dach scored 38 points in 58 games for the Canadiens last year despite missing a significant amount of time due to injury, displaying at least some of the elite skill that made him a first-round selection.

It is anticipated that he will make a significant impact for the Habs this season as he regains full health and builds on some encouraging momentum.
