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

The Montreal Canadiens announced on Wednesday that defenseman Kaiden Guhle is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair a lacerated quadriceps muscle suffered in Tuesday’s 4–1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets.

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.
