A hockey season can be full of twists and turns, and the Montreal Canadiens have unfortunately just experienced that firsthand.
Martin St-Louis' squad has gone through quite a roller coaster over the past few hours.
Just a few hours after Cole Caufield's incredible overtime goal against the Nashville Predators, the atmosphere was much less festive today.
But unfortunately, that's not all!
Other injuries have been announced by the Montreal Canadiens
In addition to Kaiden Guhle's injury, please note that two other Canadiens players are also hurt.
Kirby Dach and Patrik Laine are injured as well and will miss tonight's game...
"Defenseman Kaiden Guhle (lower body, 4 to 6 weeks) and forwards Kirby Dach (lower body, day-to-day) and Patrik Laine (lower body, day-to-day) will not play tonight. Forward Owen Beck has been recalled from the Laval Rocket (emergency recall)."

This has forced Martin St-Louis to make key changes to his lines.
Here's what it will look like for tonight:
"Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Kapanen-Newhook-Demidov
Bolduc-Veleno-Beck
Anderson-Evans-Gallagher
Matheson-Dobson
Struble-Hutson
Xhekaj-Carrier
Montembeault
Dobes"
Kapanen-Newhook-Demidov
Bolduc-Veleno-Beck

Matheson-Dobson
Struble-Hutson
Xhekaj-Carrier
Montembeault
Dobes"
So indeed, there's a major shake-up among the forward lines, as well as changes on defense, with Lane Hutson notably getting a new defensive partner in Jayden Struble.
"Owen Beck and Joe Veleno will make their regular season debuts tonight"
