Kaiden Guhle injured after dirty hit from Nikita Kucherov
Kaiden Guhle suffered a vicious hit from behind by forward Nikita Kucherov during the game between the Canadiens and the Lightning, and new details are emerging.
The worst part of it all is that the Russian player was not even penalized for the sequence, despite the fact that it was clearly an illegal hit from behind.
«For me, it's clear: there should have been a penalty on Kucherov for the hit on Guhle.
He saw Guhle's number 21 from the first to the last second.
I would add that I did not necessarily appreciate the fact that no CH player reproached him.» - Anthony Martineau
New developments regarding Kaiden Guhle's injury, and it's not reassuring
The 22-year-old defenseman has still not returned to the Canadiens' bench, which indicates that he may possibly not return for the game. Martin St-Louis must therefore manage his defensive squad with five defenders.
«Injured early in the game after a hit from behind by Kucherov, Kaiden Guhle has still not returned to the game
This complicates things quite a bit defensively for the #CH as Struble, Harris, and Xhekaj are getting more ice time than they should.» - François Gagnon
What is also concerning in this story is the fact that if Guhle is diagnosed with a concussion, it would be his second in the space of a season.
«Kaiden Guhle missed four games in October due to a concussion (and he has had a few in his career). He has still not returned to the Habs' bench after this hit.» - Stu Cowan
As we learn more and more about the impacts of head hits and their long-term repercussions on the body, this is a very worrying development for the defenseman, as well as the Canadiens.
Guhle is ruled out with an upper body injury.
