Kirby Dach, a key player for the Montreal Canadiens, has suffered another long-term injury, hampering the team's ability to construct their lines. Dach's absence forces the Canadiens into a weak-link approach, as revealed by their line combinations on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Frank Nazar, the player acquired by the Blackhawks in exchange for Dach, is showing promising development with 4 points in his first 4 games at Michigan this season.
