SALT LAKE CITY – Kirby Dach scored twice as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Utah Hockey Club 5-3 at Delta Center on Tuesday. Mike Matheson and Cole Caufield each had a goal and an assist for the Canadiens (21-18-4), who are 10-2-1 in their last 13 games. Lane Hutson had three assists, and Sam Montembeault made 22 saves.

In recent games, Kirby Dach has regained his swagger, and on Tuesday night he put together a great game. If there is a better feeling for Montreal Canadiens fans than seeing Kirby Dach having fun and scoring points, I'm not sure what it is.

The Dachs have faced a lot of ups and downs over recent years, but sharing NHL ice for the first time will be "definitely memorable."

Dach is ranked 192nd in expected goals. Even the statistics aren’t expecting much from him. He is 23, but he has to start producing if this club wants to continue its winning ways. The Canadiens have had a good season but there are some key players lagging like Dach.
