Canadiens defenceman Kaiden Guhle out with upper body injury
Montreal Canadiens defenceman Kaiden Guhle is out day-to-day with an upper body injury, the team announced Thursday.
Guhle, who did not practice on Thursday, left Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild late in the second period and did not return.
The day-to-day update is relatively good news for the Canadiens, who lost second-line centre Kirby Dach for the season with a knee injury.
Montreal was hit hard by the injury bug last season and led the league in man-games lost with 751, according to mangameslost.com
The 21-year-old Guhle, from Edmonton, has one assist and is plus-4 through three games this season.
Last season, he had the fourth-highest ice time at an average of 20 minutes 31 seconds as a rookie.
The Canadiens (1-1-1) take on the Washington Capitals (1-2-0) at home on Saturday.
