Anderson exited the 4-0 win in the third period after getting tangled up with Hurricanes' defenceman Jalen Chatfield and crashing face-first into the boards. Though he managed to skate off on his own power and head back to the locker room, he did not return for the remainder of the game.

An underwhelming season and another injury should make it clear that Dach does not check the box of No 2 centre for the Canadiens.
