As of writing, the Canadiens are about to begin their game against Patrick Roy and the Islanders. Martin St-Louis has confirmed a concerning rumor.
Indeed, Kaiden Guhle will remain out, and there is fear that he may not return to play this season. It is quite clear that he is suffering from a concussion and has not yet started training in a regular jersey, while the season ends in 5 days.
It would be very wise, under the circumstances, to keep him out until September.
The coach also confirmed the rumor that Samuel Montembeault would play a second consecutive game for the first time in a while.
"For the Canadiens tonight against the Islanders...
Montembeault starting a second consecutive game.
No changes in offense and defense.
Kaiden Guhle skated this morning, but he is not ready to return to play yet." - Patrick Friolet, RDS
With Cayden Primeau's excellence since Jake Allen's departure, St-Louis had no choice but to use him more often. Therefore, Sam will have the task of stopping Patrick Roy's Islanders, as they are in a full playoff race.
