Overview

  • Montreal announced defenseman Kaiden Guhle will miss four to six weeks with a lower-body injury.
  • Guhle left Thursday’s win over Nashville in the third period and, based on the timeline, is expected to miss roughly 15–20 games.
  • Kirby Dach and Patrik Laine are day-to-day with lower-body injuries, Owen Beck was recalled on an emergency basis, and Joe Veleno drew in as Montreal fell 4–3 to the Rangers on Saturday.
  • Arber Xhekaj entered the lineup on defense, and Jayden Struble is projected to take a larger role alongside Lane Hutson.
  • Replay-based reports suggest a non-contact mechanism consistent with a possible groin issue, and coverage notes the club could explore internal options or waivers for depth with prospect David Reinbacher currently sidelined.
