The Montreal Canadiens recalled defenceman Jayden Struble from the American Hockey League on Wednesday after Kaiden Guhle's worrisome injury.

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.

The Montreal Canadiens announced that defenseman Kaiden Guhle sustained a lower-body injury during Tuesday’s 4-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. Guhle sustained the injury early in the third period of the game after taking an awkward spill into the boards when making a pinch in the offensive zone,

Kyle Connor scored twice and Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves as the Winnipeg Jets won their fourth in a row, 4-1 over the Montreal Canadiens.

Montreal always seems to give Winnipeg a tough test, especially in their own building. The Jets lost 4-3 in a shootout during last year’s annual visit (Laurent Brossoit was in net), and fell 4-1 the previous season (with Hellebuyck between the pipes).
