Kaiden Guhle to miss start of Montreal Canadiens season

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Kaiden Guhle is expected to miss the beginning of the 2026-27 NHL season as he recovers from summer surgery. According to reports from TVA Sports, a potential return to play could occur in November.

Guhle’s absence creates opportunities for the team’s defensive prospects. Specifically, the situation may allow David Reinbacher or Adam Engstrom to compete for roster spots or receive more significant playing time within the lineup.
