On this Saturday in October, there’s some news<\/a> from the Montreal Canadiens<\/a>. The biggest news is that defenceman Kaiden Guhle<\/a> will miss four-to-six weeks with a lower-body injury. Also, there’s a couple smaller injury notes on forwards Kirby Dach<\/a> and Patrik Laine<\/a>. So let’s figure out the details and what it all means.<\/p>\n

Montreal’s Defenceman Kaiden Guhle<\/a> Is Out with Lower-Body Injury<\/h3>\n

The 23-year-old Edmonton, Alberta product was originally drafted by the Canadiens in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He was selected 16th overall. 2025-26 marks the fourth NHL season of his career. Moreover, his competitiveness and on-the-puck style-of-play makes him a current key member of the strong Habs blueline group. On season thus far, in five games, he has a goal and an assist, in over 19 minutes of ice time. He’s played with Lane Hutson<\/a> and Alex Carrier<\/a> mostly, proving his importance to their defensive alignment.<\/p>\n
