Montreal Canadiens forward Kirby Dach is expected to be out long-term after suffering a lower-body injury in a game on Saturday. The injury occurred when Dach was hit into the bench by Jarred Tinordi. Dach's absence will be a blow to the Canadiens, as he has been a key player for the team. Meanwhile, the Chicago Blackhawks, who traded Dach to Montreal, are seeing positive developments from the player they acquired in the trade, Frank Nazar. Nazar has been performing well for the Michigan team, with 4 points in his first 4 games this season. Dach's recovery progress will be closely monitored by the Canadiens as they hope for a smooth and successful return.
