Martin St-Louis sends a clear message to Kirby Dach ahead of Bruins clash
Tonight's game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins promises to be an interesting one as Kirby Dach could have a big role.
Any game against Boston is never ordinary.
It really feels like the atmosphere changes the moment the two teams meet.
And tonight, a message to a key player seems to have been sent even before the puck drops.

What I notice right away is the big promotion for Kirby Dach.
Being placed with Ivan Demidov and Oliver Kapanen is huge!
In my opinion, St-Louis wants him to show what he can do on an even more offensive line.
And as Anthony Marcotte said:
"It seems clear that in the eyes of the Canadiens, Kirby Dach is a winger. If they're not putting him at center after losing Newhook, it's pretty much written on the wall from now on."

I find his point really interesting. He is absolutely being seen as a winger.
Dach is really getting a real chance, and he now has to show that he can establish himself as a top player, especially with a few big pieces missing.
And honestly, I can't wait to see what Demidov, Kapanen, and he manage to do together.
Speaking of promotions, Joe Veleno has been placed on the penalty-killing units.
Puck drops at 7pm tonight!
