Overview

  • The team announced Dach sustained a fractured right foot and will be sidelined four to six weeks.
  • Montreal recalled Joshua Roy from AHL Laval to join the roster in Columbus after he posted seven points in 10 AHL games.
  • Dach had five goals and seven points in 15 games this season, reflecting improved production before the injury.
  • This marks a third straight season with a lengthy absence for Dach after season-ending knee injuries the previous two years, and he has never played more than 70 NHL games.
  • Game reports indicate the injury likely occurred when Dach blocked a shot against Boston on Saturday; with Alex Newhook already out long term, further call-ups such as Sean Farrell have been cited as possible options if needed.
