6 days agoMontreal Canadiens defenseman Kaiden Guhle (quadriceps) will travel with the team on their upcoming road trip. Guhle has been sidelined since the end of January due to this injury. However, it appears the 23-year-old is nearing a return to action. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Tuesday evening in St. Louis. If Guhle cannot suit up in this contest, he could return on Friday evening when the Canadiens travel to Philadelphia to face the Flyers. Through 44 total contests this season, the former 16th-overall selection from the 2020 NHL Draft has found the back of the net four times and added 10 helpers. However, Guhle carries high fantasy value in category leagues as he logged 67 hits (1.5 per game) and 100 blocked shots (2.3 per game).

2 months agoMontreal Canadiens defenseman Kaiden Guhle is expected to miss significant time following surgery to repair a lacerated quadriceps muscle. The team has ruled him out indefinitely. Guhle sustained the injury in Tuesday's contest against the Winnipeg Jets. He made his 44th appearance of the season in the game. The 23-year-old has tallied four goals and 14 points with 100 blocks and 67 hits. Jayden Struble, who was recalled from the AHL on Wednesday, appears set for a regular role in the team with Guhle out. Struble is a more physical defenseman, with 53 hits registered in 26 outings this season, but he offers far less offensively. The 23-year-old has posted two goals and three assists with 27 shots.

4 months agoMontreal Canadiens defenseman Kaiden Guhle (illness) will be back in the lineup for Saturday's meeting with Washington. He was unavailable on Thursday versus Nashville because of an illness. Justin Barron filled his spot and will likely come out of the lineup again on Saturday. Guhle plays a big role in the Canadiens defense, averaging close to 22 minutes of ice time. In 20 outings, he's recorded six points (two goals, four assists), 21 shots, 48 blocks, and 26 hits.

5 months agoMontreal Canadiens defensemen Justin Barron (upper body) and Kaiden Guhle (upper body) will rejoin the lineup on Thursday versus Washington. Barron returns from a three-game absence, while Guhle has been absent for five games. The two will provide a good boost for the Canadiens backline. Guhle, who boasts four points (one goal, three assists) in five games this season, is the more attractive fantasy option of the pair. He will skate with Mike Matheson on the first defensive pairing. Barron, who has been limited to one assist in seven outings, joins Jayden Struble on the third pairing.
