Troubling Logan Mailloux News as Uncertainty Grows Around His Return

The Montreal Canadiens may have just hit an unexpected snag in their defensive plans. Rising star Logan Mailloux, who seemed poised for a potential NHL call-up, is now sidelined with an injury—and the situation is raising eyebrows.

What We Know So Far

Missed back-to-back practices – Mailloux’s absence for two consecutive sessions has fans and analysts speculating.
No official timeline – The severity remains unclear, but the Canadiens are surely holding their breath.
A major blow for depth – With 31 points in 53 AHL games and a strong 5-point showing in 8 NHL appearances this season, Mailloux was a prime candidate for reinforcement. Now? That’s in doubt.

Anthony Marcotte dropped the confirmation:

"An injury is bothering Logan Mailloux as he will miss a second straight practice today."

At 6’3”, 213 lbs, the 2021 first-rounder (31st overall) has been a force on the blue line. If this injury lingers, it’s not just bad news for Laval—it also strips Kent Hughes of a reliable call-up option as the NHL season winds down.

The Silver Lining: Guhle’s Imminent Return

While Mailloux’s status looms as a concern, there’s a bright spot: Kaiden Guhle is reportedly close to returning.
