Habs make emergency move after Kaiden Guhle & Arber Xhekaj injuries
The Montreal Canadiens had to make an emergency call-up from the AHL due to Kaiden Guhle's injury.
Guhle was on the receiving end of a major hit by Nikita Kucherov the other night in a game against Tampa Bay. While the hit wasn't dirty, Guhle had to leave the game.

Montreal Canadiens call back Justin Barron from the AHL and announce that Arber Xhekaj is being evaluated for an upper-body injury
The Habs are set to face the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight, and Justin Barron has been called back up from the AHL.
The Canadiens also shared that Arber Xhekaj will be evaluated for an upper body injury:
With only a few games remaining to the season, at this point, if key players are missing, it'll only help their first pick odds.
More to come.
