Guhle scored two goals, one the game-winner, in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
With the win, the Canadiens locked up the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference and booked a ticket to a first-round matchup against the Capitals. Guhle hadn't found the back of the net since Jan. 23, and the timely multi-goal performance was the first of his career. The 23-year-old blueliner wraps up the regular season with six goals, 18 points, 104 hits, 124 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating in 55 appearances.

Guhle logged an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Guhle's first point in three games since returning from a quadriceps injury. The 23-year-old has added 10 hits and six blocked shots, and he's playing well as the more defensive half of a pairing with Lane Hutson. Guhle is up to 15 points, 62 shots on net, 106 blocked shots, 77 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 47 contests this season and should finish the regular season in a top-four role.

Guhle (quadriceps) is expected to be in the lineup Friday versus the Hurricanes, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guhle will draw into the lineup as the Canadiens dress seven defensemen, offering a little insurance if he's not quite up to 100 percent yet. The 23-year-old will bolster the Canadiens' blue line as they look to find some leverage in the playoff race. Joshua Roy is set to come out of the lineup to make way for Guhle.

Guhle (quadriceps) practiced Monday and will travel with the Canadiens on the team's upcoming four-game road trip, which begins Tuesday in St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Guhle has been out for the last 19 games after having surgery in late January to repair a lacerated quadriceps muscle. It remains unclear when he will be ready to return, but accompanying the team on the road will allow him to continue practicing. He has earned four goals, 14 points, 58 shots on net, 100 blocked shots and 67 hits in 44 appearances this season.

Guhle is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery Wednesday to repair a lacerated quadricep muscle.
EDGE Analysis
Guhle has four goals, 14 points, 67 hits and 100 blocks over 44 appearances in 2024-25. Jayden Struble will likely play regularly during Guhle's absence. Montreal will also likely call up a defenseman from the minors since the team is down to six healthy blueliners.

Guhle suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's game versus the Jets and will require further evaluation, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guhle caught a rut and fell awkwardly in the third period. The 23-year-old is a big part of the Canadiens' top four and would be a big loss if he's out for any length of time. Jayden Struble is likely to enter the lineup if Guhle is unavailable for Thursday's game against the Wild.

Guhle scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and had one hit in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Guhle's wrist shot from the point looked harmless, but it worked its way through several bodies and past Cam Talbot. It was the defenseman's fourth goal of the season and first in eight outings.

Guhle notched an assist, four shots on goal and four PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Guhle has a helper in each of the last two games and four points over his last seven outings. His assist came up clutch Sunday, as he fed Patrik Laine on the game-winning goal 3:20 into overtime. Guhle is up to 12 points, 52 shots on net, 61 hits, 95 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 40 appearances in a top-four role this season.

Guhle posted an assist, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Guhle has been alright in January with three points, 14 shots on net, 19 hits and 22 blocked shots over eight outings this month. The 23-year-old blueliner still makes more of an impact with physical play rather than offense. He's at 11 points, 48 shots on net, 61 hits, 94 blocks, 23 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 39 contests in a top-four role this season.

Guhle logged an assist, one shot on net, three blocks and four hits in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Guhle out-battled two Washington skaters along the boards in the offensive zone, which led to Cole Caufield's goal that tied the game at 1-1 early in the second period. Typically not a prolific producer of offense, Guhle has four points (one goal, three assists) over the last seven outings. Any offense the defenseman provides is value-added for Montreal; his most significant contributions come on the back end. He has 13 blocked shots over the last three games and ranks second on the club with 85 blocks.
