This morning, during group training, Kirby Dach was absent. Joel Armia was there.
And now the Canadian, via social networks, has just announced that the striker will miss at least a week of action due to an upper body injury.

Yesterday, on BPM Sports, Renaud Lavoie also talked about a week.
I can’t say I’m surprised. After all, Dach was kicked out of Monday night’s game against the Sabers because the spotters of the NHL judged that there was reason to intervene.
Tuesday? He did not play against Philly.
And since he did not train this morning, we can suspect that he may have a headache and that it will therefore be important to be careful in his case for the rest of things.
So I have the impression that there is a chance that the Canadian will not see Dach again this season. After all, there are only two weeks left in the season, which will perhaps encourage the CH to be cautious.
We’ll see next week.
If it’s not a finished season, we won’t be far. https://t.co/q4kgmS85Dj

Prolongation
This morning, in training, we also understood that David Savard was not 100%. After all, the player wasn’t there to train with the others.
It will be a last minute decision.
Head coach Martin St-Louis says a decision will be made shortly before the game as to whether David Savard will be in the lineup tonight.
