Kirby Dach showed flashes in the playoffs, and now Montreal has a real decision: bet on his upside or move on this summer.

Dach isn’t the headline guy, but he’s scoring timely goals, throwing hits, and quietly helping Montreal stay alive in the playoffs.

Canadiens’ third line stole Game 3 vs Tampa. Dach, Texier, and Bolduc turned into the unlikely engine behind a 2–1 series lead.

Oliver Kapanen’s emergence has quietly changed the Canadiens’ outlook, easing pressure and reshaping how Montreal approaches the deadline.
