Emptying his locker at Brossard on Friday, the young forward admitted it was a concussion he sustained in Buffalo on March 27 that forced him to miss the final 8 games of the season.
“I had some head problems, a headache that started the day after the game in Buffalo against the Sabers,” admitted Dach. But the medical staff treated me well, so I was able to train again afterwards. »
