Montreal Canadiens center Kirby Dach ended a 19-game goal drought during a 3-2 shootout win against the Anaheim Ducks. Dach's only goal this season came from a fortunate bounce after a mishandled puck by Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal, allowing him to score into an empty net.

Despite struggling since recovering from a knee injury, Dach has found support from teammates and has settled into a second-line role. Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis praised Dach's work ethic and the team's camaraderie, hoping this goal will boost his confidence.
