Guhle (quadriceps) practiced Monday and will travel with the Canadiens on the team's upcoming four-game road trip, which begins Tuesday in St. Louis.
Guhle has been out for the last 19 games after having surgery in late January to repair a lacerated quadriceps muscle. It remains unclear when he will be ready to return, but accompanying the team on the road will allow him to continue practicing. He has earned four goals, 14 points, 58 shots on net, 100 blocked shots and 67 hits in 44 appearances this season.

Canadiens' Kaiden Guhle: Undergoes surgery
Rotowire
Guhle is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery Wednesday to repair a lacerated quadricep muscle.
Guhle has four goals, 14 points, 67 hits and 100 blocks over 44 appearances in 2024-25. Jayden Struble will likely play regularly during Guhle's absence. Montreal will also likely call up a defenseman from the minors since the team is down to six healthy blueliners.

Canadiens' Kaiden Guhle: Needs further evaluation
Rotowire
Guhle suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's game versus the Jets and will require further evaluation, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.
Guhle caught a rut and fell awkwardly in the third period. The 23-year-old is a big part of the Canadiens' top four and would be a big loss if he's out for any length of time. Jayden Struble is likely to enter the lineup if Guhle is unavailable for Thursday's game against the Wild.

Guhle has been alright in January with three points, 14 shots on net, 19 hits and 22 blocked shots over eight outings this month. The 23-year-old blueliner still makes more of an impact with physical play rather than offense. He's at 11 points, 48 shots on net, 61 hits, 94 blocks, 23 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 39 contests in a top-four role this season.

Canadiens' Kaiden Guhle: Helps in win
Rotowire
Guhle logged an assist, one shot on net, three blocks and four hits in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals.
Guhle out-battled two Washington skaters along the boards in the offensive zone, which led to Cole Caufield's goal that tied the game at 1-1 early in the second period. Typically not a prolific producer of offense, Guhle has four points (one goal, three assists) over the last seven outings. Any offense the defenseman provides is value-added for Montreal; his most significant contributions come on the back end. He has 13 blocked shots over the last three games and ranks second on the club with 85 blocks.

Rotowire
Guhle scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.
Guhle has three points over six games since the holiday break. That's a good sign that his offense is coming around -- prior to the break, he had gone 14 contests without a point. The 22-year-old defense has three goals, six assists, 38 shots on net, 50 hits, 82 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 34 outings this season while filling a top-four role with minimal power-play time.

Canadiens' Kaiden Guhle: Delivers helper in win
Rotowire
Guhle notched an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.
Guhle ended a 14-game point drought with his helper on the first of Kirby Dach's two goals in the second period. Despite the lack of offense, Guhle has maintained a top-four role this season for his defensive skill. He has seven points, 31 shots on net, 38 hits, 72 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 29 appearances. Until he can be more consistent on offense, Guhle has limited appeal in fantasy.
