The Montreal Canadiens’ bench was the scene of an unexpected and unsettling moment last night, sparking a wave of concern among fans and insiders alike. While the television broadcast missed the full extent of what unfolded, a newly surfaced photo and exclusive footage have revealed a glimpse of something that could have serious implications for the team’s immediate future.

With the Canadiens riding high after a string of victories, the sudden emergence of this worrying sequence has left many wondering what’s really going on behind the scenes. TVA Sports journalist Anthony Martineau was quick to share the footage, but the organization has remained silent so far, fueling speculation and anxiety throughout the hockey community.

As one of the team’s most crucial players finds himself at the center of this developing story, questions abound: What exactly happened on the bench? How serious is the situation, and what does it mean for the team’s momentum moving forward? While some updates have offered a glimmer of hope, the full picture remains unclear—and fans are left anxiously awaiting official word.

Stay tuned as we break down everything you need to know about this mysterious incident, and what it could mean for the Canadiens in the days ahead.

TVA Sports journalist Anthony Martineau has just shared footage of a worrying scene that took place on the Montreal Canadiens’ bench last night.

The scene wasn’t shown in full on television, but the least we can say is that Kaiden Guhle appeared to be in a lot of pain on his team’s bench…

“No news today regarding the health status of Kaiden Guhle. The Canadiens have the day off.

But if I rely on these images, the defenseman is suffering.

We wish him the best.”

– Anthony Martineau, TVA Sports

Let’s recall that Guhle did not finish the game, and we are still awaiting official news from the organization about him. Martin St. Louis decided to give the team a day off today following their 4 wins in a row. So we may need to wait a bit longer for an official update.

A concerning sequence involving Kaiden Guhle

Guhle is such an important player for this team, and it’s clear that it would be a major loss if he had to miss time-but let’s wait and see.

Also, let’s remember Renaud Lavoie shared an encouraging update earlier on Kaiden Guhle’s injury.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on this for you.

If Guhle ends up being sidelined, it would apparently be young defenseman Arber Xhekaj who would take his spot and rejoin the lineup, after being scratched last night (by Martin St-Louis) in favor of Jayden Struble.

Guhle, 23 years old, is a left-shot defenseman standing 6 feet 3 inches and weighing 202 pounds. He was selected 16th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2020 draft (1st round pick) and has recorded 2 points in 5 games this season, with a positive plus-minus of +1.
