Overview

  • The team announced Friday that Newhook had surgery for a fractured ankle and is expected to miss approximately four months.
  • Guhle underwent surgery in New York for a partially torn abductor and is projected to be out eight to ten weeks.
  • Newhook was injured Thursday against Dallas after contact with Ilya Lyubushkin and a feet-first crash into the end boards, which drew a minor penalty.
  • Before the injury, Newhook had 12 points in 17 games this season, following a prior multi-week ankle absence in 2023–24.
  • Montreal recalled forward Jared Davidson from the AHL as it begins to rework forward lines and defensive minutes.
