The Montreal Canadiens have made a significant move by placing defenseman Kaiden Guhle and forward Kirby Dach on long-term injured reserve (LTIR), adding to their ongoing injury woes. This decision comes as the Canadiens face numerous challenges this season, having lost several key players. Guhle had been showing promise on the blue line, while Dach's absence will further test the team's offensive depth.

In a twist of fate, former Canadiens player Phillip Danault is set to reunite with his old team when the Canadiens face the Los Angeles Kings in Boston. Danault has been a steady presence for the Kings and is expected to bring his unique blend of skill and leadership to the matchup. The Canadiens will need to rally against the Kings, especially with their lineup diminished by injuries.

Head coach Martin St. Louis has emphasized the importance of overcoming adversity, and this challenge will be a crucial test for the young squad. The Canadiens are finding new ways to adapt, and players like Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki will need to step up in the absence of Guhle and Dach. Fans are eagerly anticipating this showdown as both teams look to solidify their positions in the standings.
