We are on the second day of the Canadiens' training camp, and for the second consecutive day, Kirby Dach has taken a hit to the head.
I don't know if bad luck will ever leave him alone, but the road will clearly never be easy for him.
The good news is that he doesn't appear to be seriously injured, but it shouldn't keep happening. It seems that the slightest thing, the slightest time he returns to the bench in pain, makes us worry about his health.
I really hope this stops and that he can play a full season to alleviate the doubts and concerns. It's a shame to always hold our breath when he doesn't have a smile on his face.
Kirby Dach is an extraordinary player with a very bright future in the NHL. He just needs his body to keep up.
Kent Hughes acquired him in the 2022 draft by first trading Alexander Romanov for the 13th overall pick, and then that pick for Kirby Dach.
