Canadiens face challenges with Guhle injury and benchings of Laine and Dach

The Montreal Canadiens are facing challenges after losing defenseman Kaiden Guhle to a leg injury. Guhle is out indefinitely, but there is some hope for his return this season, depending on the severity of his injury. Patrik Laine and Kirby Dach were benched during a recent game against the Anaheim Ducks, marking a significant moment for the team. Coach Martin St. Louis emphasized maintaining team standards despite the Canadiens' five-game losing streak. Arber Xhekaj has stepped up to fill Guhle's role on defense. He has shown improved decision-making in his physical play, which has been positively noted by St. Louis.
