BIOGRAPHY
Christian Dvorak was born February 2, 1996, in Palos, Illinois. He is a forward in the NHL.
On November 3, 2016, Dvorak scored his first NHL goal on goalie Pekka Rinne to help clinch a win over the Nashville Predators. Dvorak also chipped in an assist on a goal scored by Anthony Duclair to tie the game. It was the first multi-point game of Dvorak's NHL career.
On October 30, 2017, Dvorak scored his first goal of the 2017–18 season to help the Coyotes defeat the Philadelphia Flyers and avoid setting a new NHL record with a 12th-straight loss to start the season. On August 9, 2018, Dvorak signed a six-year contract extension with the Coyotes.
Dvorak began the 2018–19 season sidelined due to a pectoral muscle injury. On October 19, it was announced Dvorak underwent surgery to repair the torn pectoral muscle and was expected to take months to recover.
On September 4, 2021, Dvorak was traded by the Coyotes to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a 2022 first-round pick and a 2024 second-round pick. With the decision made by the Canadiens not to match an offer-sheet tendered to 2018 3rd overall selection Jesperi Kotkaniemi, the team suddenly had a void to fill at the centre position. Already subject to trade rumours for an extended period, Dvorak was seen as an ideal candidate to fill the positional need. Dvorak made his debut for the Canadiens on September 27th, 2021 in a pre-season game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he scored a goal and added three assists.
