After undergoing wrist surgery, questions loomed over his hockey future, but he successfully returned to the game. Dach spent three seasons with the Hawks before a trade to the Montreal Canadiens, where he showed promise amid a team rebuild.
In a twist of fate, Dach suffered a knee injury colliding with former Canadiens defenseman Jarred Tinordi, now with the Blackhawks. This injury, a torn ACL and MCL, sidelined him for the entire season.
