Montreal Canadiens Face Injury Crisis Early in Season
The Montreal Canadiens, who began the 2025-26 NHL season with great enthusiasm, are now struggling due to a series of significant injuries. After losing Patrik Laine for an extended period, the team has announced that Kirby Dach will also be unavailable for at least four to six weeks due to a fractured foot sustained in a recent game against the Boston Bruins. This injury follows the absence of other key players like Alex Newhook and Kaiden Guhle, both recovering from surgeries. The Canadiens, known for having the youngest roster in the league, are now facing a tough challenge as their inexperience becomes apparent amidst this adversity. Their recent performance has suffered, highlighted by a three-game losing streak where they were outscored 15-3. Once viewed as a strong contender in the Atlantic Division, the team's prospects are quickly diminishing, leaving fans concerned about their future games.
