According to Renaud Lavoie's post-game analysis, Kirby Dach's departure from overtime was due to a serious issue. Dach has been an impressive player this season, effectively utilizing his $3.3625-million average annual contract over four years. However, his time on the ice may be limited as he is now undergoing concussion protocol, as reported by Lavoie. This unfortunate turn of events occurred when Dach was cross-checked in the back during overtime and had difficulty getting back up. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/HabsInHighHeels/status/1640536657282621440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1640536657282621440%7Ctwgr%5E40e58f9b70dcdb88fcb9e7fb437129785b8ec10f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.habsfanatics.com%2FBREAKING-Bad-News-For-Kirby-Dach-221826'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NathanGraviteh/status/1640530535171719168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1640530535171719168%7Ctwgr%5E40e58f9b70dcdb88fcb9e7fb437129785b8ec10f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.habsfanatics.com%2FBREAKING-Bad-News-For-Kirby-Dach-221826'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/habsfantv_/status/1640538997444292608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1640538997444292608%7Ctwgr%5E40e58f9b70dcdb88fcb9e7fb437129785b8ec10f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.habsfanatics.com%2FBREAKING-Bad-News-For-Kirby-Dach-221826'> </a></blockquote></div> Hopefully this was just a precaution to make sure nothing more serious has happened.
