One player won't simply replace what Kaiden Guhle brings to the Canadiens as his injury means that Martin St. Louis is looking at less depth and balance on his blue line.

The Montreal Canadiens may be without one of their top defensemen after Kaiden Guhle suffered an undisclosed lower-body injury in Tuesday’s 4–1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. Guhle crashed awkwardly into the boards early in the third period and immediately appeared to favor his right leg before heading to the bench and into the locker room skating without help.
