There’s no sugar-coating the Kaiden Guhle injury for the Montreal Canadiens. It’s a huge blow to a team that, with exception to fourth-liner Emil Heineman, had finally been healthy with the recents results to by and large match.

The Montreal Canadiens are dealing with several potential roster changes following their recent game. Defenseman Kaiden Guhle’s status is uncertain after suffering what looks like a leg injury, while forward Kirby Dach also left the game following a nasty collision.

The Montreal Canadiens will have to make do without their top shutdown defenceman. Kaiden Guhle is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery on a lacerated quadriceps muscle, the Canadiens announced Wednesday.

Kaiden Guhle’s game came to an unfortunate end on Tuesday night. The Montreal Canadiens young defenceman was forced to exit Tuesday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets in the third period after falling awkwardly into the boards.
