We've just learned some terrible news for the Canadiens, and it's unfortunately confirmed.

Indeed, defenseman Kaiden Guhle will not be returning to play, as Justin Barron has been called up on an emergency basis.

Arber Xhekaj is also out with an upper-body injury, so he will miss tonight's game.

Johnathan Kovacevic will be rejoining the lineup along with Justin Barron.


Things can change quickly in hockey. These two injuries and the call-up are proof that you always have to give your best for the Rocket players because a call-up can happen at any time.

"Defensemen Kaiden Guhle (upper body, day-to-day) and Arber Xhekaj (upper body, further update to come pending evaluation) will not be available to play tonight. Defenseman Justin Barron was recalled from the Laval Rocket (emergency recall)."
