The injury Kaiden Guhle suffered in recent weeks is intense. The Canadian defenseman was cut and it really looked like it hurt on the ice.
We also remember Martin St-Louis’ reaction when, during the game, he learned what had really happened. His eyes spoke volumes for those who remember.
Since then, the Canadiens’ defense has been less stable. It’s tougher on the ice because the young Albertan’s injury means that everyone is on edge.
But the main thing, in his case, is his health. After all, he was lucky.
Because his health was a priority and he needed time to recover, no one was talking about a return to play – and everyone had kind of assumed he wouldn’t be back in the game this season.
But as time passes, things could change, and this morning, at the end of his daily column on BPM Sports, Renaud Lavoie mentioned that we shouldn’t say his season is over.
But for now, we shouldn’t rule out a return. That would change everything, since everyone would be on edge.
Even if Kent Hughes had to sell off some pieces at the deadline and even if the Canadiens were to fall out of the playoff race, seeing him return to the game would be a good thing for him.
Why? Because he could regain confidence heading into the offseason. And that’s important for a player.
Note that, regarding the deadline and defense, even if Kaiden Guhle returns to the game at the end of the season, the Canadiens will need David Savard to support the young players for the next two months.
Unless there’s a really interesting return on the trade market, David Savard’s place is in Montreal, in my opinion.

Keeping the Colisée standing has cost more than ever in the past two years. Major “sustainability” work done since 2023 has driven up the old arena’s bill, which now exceeds $1 million. #polmun@lesoleildeqchttps://t.co/5Ns1x2SHXQ
