Montreal Canadiens Defenseman Kaiden Guhle Sidelined 4-6 Weeks Due to Lower-Body Injury
Kaiden Guhle, defenseman for the Montreal Canadiens, has been sidelined for four to six weeks due to a lower-body injury. This was confirmed by the team on Saturday morning following an incident during a recent game.
Injury Details
Guhle sustained his injury in the third period of Thursday’s match against the Nashville Predators. The game ended with a narrow 3-2 victory in overtime for the Canadiens.
- Guhle crumpled to the ice and remained in visible pain.
- Despite the injury, he managed to return to the bench on his own.
- He was unable to return for the final minutes of the game.
Impact on the Team
Coach Martin St. Louis announced that Guhle would miss several games, joining injured team members Kirby Dach and Patrik Laine, who are also dealing with lower-body injuries.
- Kirby Dach: Daily evaluation for injury.
- Patrik Laine: Daily evaluation for injury.
In light of Guhle’s absence, Jayden Struble is expected to step into his role on the defensive line. Guhle’s injury history is concerning; the 23-year-old previously missed two months last season due to a lacerated quadriceps muscle caused by his own skate.
Looking Ahead
The team will need to adapt quickly as they face upcoming opponents without some key players. The management’s focus will be on recovery and ensuring that Guhle and the other injured players return to form.
