Indeed, the young center has been very involved since day one of his injury, and not just as a bystander. He had a certain influence.
A very good piece of news came yesterday, Wednesday, as Dach was finally on the ice with his teammates. He was practicing in a non-contact jersey, but the simple fact that he was there is worth gold.
Asked about it later, Trevor Letowski had a smile that spoke volumes. He seemed to think that Dach would return, but he didn't dare to say more.
So no, a date for his return to play hasn't been confirmed yet, but it seems like it will happen this season, barring any surprises.
