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.

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Kaiden Guhle will be out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair a lacerated quadricep muscle, the team announced on Wednesday.

Kaiden Guhle’s game came to an unfortunate end on Tuesday night. The Montreal Canadiens young defenceman was forced to exit Tuesday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets in the third period after falling awkwardly into the boards.
