Why Kirby Dach could be 'great playoff player' for Blackhawks

One of the biggest storylines going into Blackhawks training camp last September was whether No. 3 overall pick Kirby Dach would secure a spot on the NHL roster out of the gates. Unfortunately for both the player and team, he was unavailable for the start of it after suffering a concussion during the Traverse City Prospect Tournament but ended up making the team anyway and stayed for the full season.

The feeling during training camp 2.0 ahead of the NHL's 2019-20 restart is much different for the 19-year-old rookie. After only four days, Dach has easily been one of the standouts of camp so far.
