I don’t have live access to the latest updates right this moment. Here’s what is known about Kirby Dach’s injuries in recent seasons, based on publicly reported information up to 2026:
- Dach has had multiple knee and lower-body injuries in Montreal, with reports in early 2025 that he underwent knee surgery and was aiming to return for the 2025-26 season. Some outlets claimed a potential season-start timeline, while others noted his recovery progressing at the offseason pace.[1][3]
- In March 2026, reports indicated Dach was out for 2–4 weeks with an upper-body injury suffered in a game against the Anaheim Ducks, adding to an injury-plagued run since joining the Canadiens. This followed a prior season where he had a foot fracture and knee surgery in earlier campaigns.[2][4]
- Several sports outlets and fan sites repeatedly discussed Dach’s injury history, noting that injuries have significantly impacted his availability and development, with some suggesting the pattern could affect his role or trade value in Montreal.[5][6][8]
Illustration of the situation:
- Trend: Injury-prone period with recurring knee/foot injuries and a recent upper-body issue extending his absence.
- Impact: Availability fluctuations affect lineup roles and team planning.
