Kirby Dach Returns Tonight as Canadiens Face Oilers in Edmonton

UPDATE: Kirby Dach is set to make his return to the ice tonight as the Montreal Canadiens face off against the Edmonton Oilers at 8:00 PM ET. After missing last night’s game in Calgary, Dach will replace Joshua Roy in the lineup, as confirmed by the Canadiens on their official social media.

This return is significant for the Habs, especially given the high stakes of tonight’s matchup against the Oilers, a team known for its offensive prowess. Last night, Dach skated extra but did not participate in the game, raising concerns among fans about his condition. However, the Canadiens’ announcement brings relief and excitement, as they look to secure a much-needed victory on the road.

Fans eagerly anticipate how coach Martin St-Louis will integrate Dach back into the game. While it’s expected that Dach could join the lines with Bolduc and Veleno, there are questions about maintaining the current successful line combinations. Coach St-Louis is known for his strategic adjustments, and tonight’s game could be a pivotal moment for the Canadiens.

In addition to Dach’s return, Samuel Montembeault will be in goal for the Canadiens, facing pressure after Jakub Dobes delivered an impressive performance last game. The matchup against the Oilers presents a significant challenge, featuring their formidable offensive duo, which could test Montembeault’s resolve and skill.

As the puck drops in Edmonton this evening, all eyes will be on Dach and Montembeault. The Habs are eager to bounce back and deliver a strong performance, making this a must-watch game for fans. With the stakes higher than ever, the Canadiens aim to capitalize on their recent form while introducing Dach back into the mix.
