Guhle is one of the Canadiens' best defensemen and has been missed even though the team is playing very well and looking dangerous. Montreal has missed the 23-year-old since January 28 and the young d-man averages over 21 minutes per game which includes killing penalties.
There appears to be a good chance he plays on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues to kick off their road trip, but if not, there is a back-to-back coming on Thursday that the team would love to have him back for.
Guhle should take his spot on the second pairing and bump Jayden Struble down, also kicking him off the penalty kill. Guhle has four goals and 14 points in 44 games this season and has added 100 blocked shots and 67 hits. The Canadiens need all the help they can get to break their playoff drought as the team holds the final wildcard spot by one point and have six teams within six points of them all battling for the spot.
