Kirby Dach faces roster competition at Montreal Canadiens camp

Montreal Canadiens forward Kirby Dach is facing scrutiny during the team's training camp as head coach Martin St. Louis noted that Dach is “fighting for a place and trying to find it.” This assessment places the 24-year-old in a position similar to other players currently auditioning for roster spots.

Dach recently stepped into a prominent role during practice, playing right wing alongside Juraj Slafkovsky and Oliver Kapanen. This move occurred because Ivan Demidov was sidelined for a second consecutive day due to treatment. While the opportunity allows Dach to demonstrate versatility at both center and wing, his performance in camp has been described by some observers as lacking a standout impact.
