Anthony Marcotte : “I don’t think we’ll see Guhle play during the trip”

Kaiden Guhle practiced with his teammates this morning in Brossard.

And for the first time since his return to practice, he wore a jersey that allowed him to receive contact.

We also note that the Canadiens announced that the defenseman will travel with the team this week for games played in St. Louis, Philadelphia, Carolina, and Florida. But it’s not necessarily expected that he’ll play, according to Anthony Marcotte…

The latter was a guest on Martin Lemay’s show (BPM Sports) and said he doesn’t think Guhle will participate in any of those games.

Why?

The reason is simple, in fact: Guhle needs to participate in more physical practices before being thrown into the fire.

It wasn’t super intense on the ice this morning:

The Canadiens are doing well to take their time with him.

Because, in fact, there’s nothing that’s “pressing” right now.

The Canadiens are well-established in the standings, and it’s normal that they wouldn’t want to risk seeing Guhle get injured again if he returns to the game too quickly.

It wouldn’t serve much purpose, ultimately.

Guhle will clearly be able to help the Habs when he returns to the game… but again, that won’t be the case if he returns and isn’t at 100%.

He needs to be given the time to heal properly and to get back into game shape.

Without that, the Canadiens won’t be helping themselves by rushing Guhle’s return to the game.


Overtime

– Oh…

– Wow.

– Absolutely.
