The Canadiens have announced that defenseman Kaiden Guhle, who had surgery to repair a lacerated quadricep, will be out indefinitely.

The Montreal Canadiens may be without one of their top defensemen after Kaiden Guhle suffered an undisclosed lower-body injury in Tuesday’s 4–1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets.

Montreal blue liner Kaiden Guhle underwent surgery to repair a lacerated quad, the Canadiens announced on Wednesday.

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Kaiden Guhle is out indefinitely with a lacerated quadricep muscle, the team announced Wednesday. The laceration was surgically repaired, and he was recently released from the hospital.

The Montreal Canadiens are dealing with several potential roster changes following their recent game. Defenseman Kaiden Guhle’s status is uncertain after suffering what looks like a leg injury, while forward Kirby Dach also left the game following a nasty collision.

There’s no sugar-coating the Kaiden Guhle injury for the Montreal Canadiens. It’s a huge blow to a team that, with exception to fourth-liner Emil Heineman, had finally been healthy with the recents results to by and large match.
