Kirby Dach is on a mission and that's a really good sign for the Montreal Canadiens

Who would have thought that Kirby Dach would be the partner of Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, when he was acquired for the specific reason of playing center? The fact is, Martin St. Louis tried quite a few people to play with the dynamic duo, but only Dach stood out.

With his 8th goal of the season on Sunday against the Rangers, #77 is up to 27 points this season. This is his highest career total. Last year, Dach had 26 points in 70 games. This is quite an improvement in his case.

At only 21 years old, Dach hasn't broken anything yet in the National Hockey League, but he seems to be blossoming this year. This is great news for the Habs and not so good for the Blackhawks.
