Kaiden Guhle will play his first game of the season tonight

With yesterday's trade involving Jayden Struble, we were eagerly awaiting word on whether this meant another defensive lineup change for the next game—tonight against the Detroit Red Wings at the Bell Centre.

We were anticipating either an extended opportunity for Adam Engstrom, the recall of David Reinbacher, or Kaiden Guhle's return to the lineup.

Well, it was the third option that won out.

In fact, Kaiden Guhle will be back in action tonight, playing his first game of the season.
