We have a change to announce involving Montreal Canadiens defenseman Kaiden Guhle.
Initially, we had good news under the circumstances, as the Canadiens announced that Guhle was classified as day-to-day meaning his condition would be reassessed daily and that he would not be out long-term.
However, as reported by TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie, the Canadiens have just changed Kaiden Guhle's status.
The Canadiens change the status of defenseman Kaiden Guhle following his injury last night at the Bell Centre
Guhle is now classified as "injured and requiring further evaluation."
See the Canadiens' official announcement here:
«Defenseman Kaiden Guhle has suffered a lower-body injury, which will require further evaluation.»

In essence, Guhle has gone from "will miss a few days, but will be reassessed daily" to "we still don't know how serious his injury is, and he needs further evaluation."
This is a story we are closely monitoring for you, especially since Kaiden Guhle is obviously a cornerstone for the Canadiens.
Let's hope for good news on this front.
Guhle, 23, has 14 points in 44 games this season, including 4 goals.
The 6-foot-3, 202-pound defenseman is very important to the team's success, especially in this playoff race.
To review the sequence in question:
