Canadiens Forward Is Heating Up At The Perfect Time

Montreal Canadiens forward Kirby Dach had a quiet start to the 2026-27 season.

In his first nine games, he recorded just one assist. However, since then, the Canadiens forward has been noticeably heating up. 

This has especially been the case during the Canadiens' last four games. Over that span, he has recorded two goals and four points. This included him scoring a goal in the Canadiens' most recent 5-2 win over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night.

Seeing Dach starting to heat up offensively is a good sign. If he can keep this kind of play up moving forward, it would certainly help Montreal's chances of maintaining their strong stretch of play. 

It would also be clutch for Dach to continue to produce offensively for the Canadiens. He is in the middle of a contract year as a pending unrestricted free agent. Thus, if he ends up having the big bounce-back year that the Canadiens have been hoping for, it would help his chances of landing a nice contract with his next deal. This remains the case whether he ends up re-signing with the Canadiens or hits the free agent market next summer.

Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if Dach can keep his hot streak going for the Canadiens from here.
