Kaiden Guhle - NHL News & Rumors

Nearing return to game action Head coach Martin St. Louis said Monday that Guhle (groin) is getting close to being ready to play, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.

Impact St. Louis said that he isn't sure whether Guhle will require one or two more weeks to recover, but the 24-year-old defenseman appears to be trending in the right direction following minor adductor surgery that he underwent during the offseason. Guhle made 39 regular-season appearances last year and recorded two goals, nine assists, 86 hits, 63 blocked shots and 41 PIM while averaging 19:28 of ice time.

Placed on injured reserve Guhle (groin) was placed on injured reserve by the Canadiens on Monday.

Impact Guhle underwent minor adductor muscle surgery over the summer and was slated to miss the start of the 2026-27 regular season, so his placement on injured reserve isn't particularly surprising. The Canadiens indicated in mid-September that Guhle was expected to return in 4-5 weeks, so the 24-year-old could be back in action as early as mid-October. Across 39 regular-season appearances last year, Guhle logged two goals, nine assists, 86 hits, 63 blocked shots and 41 PIM while averaging 19:28 of ice time.

Recovering from adductor surgery The Canadiens announced Wednesday that Guhle is recovering from a minor surgery to his adductor muscle that he underwent over the summer, and he's expected to return in 4-5 weeks.

Impact Reports surfaced early in the week that Guhle would miss the start of the 2026-27 campaign following offseason surgery, and the nature of his procedure and a return timetable have now been revealed. The 24-year-old's timeline suggests that he could return as early as mid-October, but the Canadiens could exercise caution with his recovery since he's slated to miss the entirety of training camp. Guhle recorded two goals, nine assists, 86 hits, 63 blocked shots and 41 PIM while averaging 19:28 of ice time across 39 regular-season appearances last year.

Slated to miss start of season Guhle will miss the start of the 2026-27 regular season after undergoing offseason surgery, TVA Sports reports Monday.

Impact Guhle appeared in a career-low 39 regular-season games last year and recorded two goals, nine assists, 86 hits, 63 blocked shots and 41 PIM while averaging 19:28 of ice time. He was available throughout the playoffs and helped lead the Canadiens to the Eastern Conference Finals, but he underwent surgery following the postseason. The exact nature of his procedure isn't yet clear, but it will force him to miss time early in the season.

Chips in with helper Guhle logged an assist, 11 hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Lightning in Game 4.

Impact Guhle picked up his first career playoff point when he set up a Zachary Bolduc tally in the second period. The 24-year-old took some games off late in the regular season for maintenance, but he's handled a top-four role, including some heavier minutes due to the first three games of this series going to overtime. In four contests against the Lightning, Guhle has added four shots on net, 21 hits, nine blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-3 rating.
