Overview

  • The team confirmed Newhook had ankle surgery in Montreal performed by Dr. Greg Berry, while Guhle had adductor surgery in New York performed by Dr. Mark Zoland.
  • Newhook was hurt against Dallas after contact with Ilya Lyubushkin and a feet‑first slide into the end boards, with Lyubushkin assessed a minor penalty.
  • Guhle, sidelined since mid‑October, moves from an initial multi‑week estimate to an 8–10 week recovery following the procedure.
  • Montreal recalled Jared Davidson from the AHL’s Laval Rocket for his first NHL stint, with the 23‑year‑old leading Laval in goals this season.
  • Newhook had 12 points in 17 games and was a key early contributor, and coach Martin St. Louis indicated the club will adjust lines to cover the losses.
