Montreal Canadiens defenseman Kaiden Guhle underwent corrective surgery on his adductor muscles after a previous procedure failed to yield expected results. The surgery initially left his return timeline uncertain, with estimates ranging from October to January. By mid-September, reports indicated that Guhle is expected to miss the start of the 2026-27 NHL season, with a potential return season. Specifically, as of September 17, Guhle is expected to play in November. be sidelined for four to five weeks. His absence is expected to create opportunities for defensive prospects such as David Reinbacher or Adam Engstrom to compete for roster spots or increased playing time. David Reinbacher is positioned to compete for a spot during the preseason; Reinbacher has described himself as a “shutdown defenseman focused on defensive play,” though analysts suggest he possesses untapped offensive potential. The injury may also impact defensive pairings, potentially allowing Lane Hutson to play on his natural left side.
