The Canadiens expects him to be out long-term.
Dach exited Saturday’s win against the Chicago Blackhawks after suffering the injury.
Dach was hurt when Blackhawks defenceman Jarred Tinordi laid a hit on the forward that sent him into the Chicago bench. Dach returned to the ice briefly before heading to the locker room.
Dach, 22, was drafted by the Blackhawks and played with the club for three years, but was dealt to the Canadiens at the 2022 NHL Draft as part of a three-team trade.
Across 59 games with the Canadiens, Dach has scored 14 goals and 40 points.
