Montreal Canadiens forward Kirby Dach will miss the rest of the season following right knee surgery, the team announced Friday.

Dach, 24, is expected to be ready for the start of next season. He tallied 22 points (10 goals, 12 assists) in 57 games this season.

It’s the second straight season-ending knee injury for Dach, who sustained a torn ACL and MCL in the same knee in the second game of the 2023-24 campaign.

Dach has recorded 121 points (43 goals, 78 assists) in career 269 games with the Chicago Blackhawks (2019-22) and the Canadiens. Chicago drafted him with the No. 3 overall pick in 2019.
