Injury: The worst is confirmed for Arber Xhekaj and Kaiden Guhle
The Montreal Canadiens organization has just announced an unpleasant surprise involving Arber Xhekaj, and we have the details.
We didn't even know he was bothered, but now the Canadiens has announced that he will be absent tonight and replaced by former first-round pick of the Colorado Avalanche, Justin Barron.
This is therefore an unexpected opportunity for the young Barron, and it's obviously bad news for Guhle and Xhekaj.
Let's hope their season isn't over.
See the press release.
Defensemen Kaiden Guhle (upper body, day-to-day) and Arber Xhekaj (upper body, further update to come pending evaluation) will not be available to play tonight. Defenseman Justin Barron was recalled from the Laval Rocket (emergency recall).
