MONTREAL – The Canadiens will get some reinforcements on the blue line on Saturday.
Kaiden Guhle, who missed all of training camp following a minor surgery in the summer, is set to make his season debut when the Canadiens host the Detroit Red Wings at the Bell Centre.
“Didn’t have any setbacks or anything, so I feel good and I’m ready to go,” said the 24-year-old Saturday morning. “The staff, coaches and management were all in my corner and made sure that I was 100% ready to go, if not 110. Didn’t want to have any setbacks, didn’t want to have to deal with stuff during the year and they were unbelievable through this whole process.”
Here are few other lineup updates for Saturday’s game:
- Jacob Fowler will make his second consecutive start
- Montreal will play 11 forwards, seven defensemen
- Florian Xhekaj is out of the lineup
Fowler was one of 17 to take the ice for an optional morning skate.
