Injuries and bad stretches happen; good teams work through them. The Jets are a good team; the Canadiens are learning how to be one.
The Montreal Canadiens have been enjoying some success in the NHL lately. Some of the team’s top prospects have also seen success in various leagues globally.
Laine's struggles began in Dec. 2023 when he fractured his clavicle and was forced to miss most of the 2023-24 season. Shortly after that, he entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assitance Program and he didn't play again during the remainder of the season.
The Montreal Canadiens may be without one of their top defensemen after Kaiden Guhle suffered an undisclosed lower-body injury in Tuesday’s 4–1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets.
The Montreal Canadiens recalled defenceman Jayden Struble from the American Hockey League on Wednesday after Kaiden Guhle's worrisome injury.

Montreal Canadiens teammates Brendan Gallagher, Joel Armia and Josh Anderson are all set to welcome babies in 2025.
Struble was sent to the AHL for a conditioning assignment Friday, but he'll rejoin the Canadiens ahead of Thursday's home game against the Wild. The 23-year-old was a frequent healthy scratch before being sent down, but he could see an uptick in playing time if Kaiden Guhle (lower body) is forced to miss time.
A rebuild in the NHL can be a grueling process. With the patience needed to develop prospects, and decide whether to add or subtract to the team and what each offseason has to offer, there aren’t many situations for a team to be in that are more stressful than this.
