Montreal Canadiens defenseman Kaiden Guhle’s injury may be far worse than initially believed. While the team announced Wednesday that Guhle underwent surgery for a lacerated quadriceps muscle and would be out indefinitely, new details have emerged.

This has not been an uncommon occurrence for the Canadiens, to lack juice against teams on a back-to-back when they were rested. This was, in fact, the eighth and final time the Canadiens will find themselves in this situation this season, which is a net positive because they have not taken full advantage of it with a 3-5-0 record.

Over the past few days, the Montreal Canadiens social media circles have been buzzing. The team’s fans have had harsh words for one of the team’s veteran players.

Fleury, who grew up in Quebec, likely played his final career game in Montreal, as he plans to retire after this season. Even after getting shut out, the Canadiens and their fans didn't miss making the most of a special night for the future Hall of Fame goaltender.

The Canadiens hosted the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night, a game that would feature Sorel-native Marc-Andre Fleury starting at the Bell Centre for the final time of his career.

While Marc-Andre Fleury never suited up for the Montreal Canadiens, he is from nearby Sorel, Que., and he was given a fond farewell by fans and players at the Bell Centre.

Thursday night’s game between the Minnesota Wild and Montreal Canadiens was a special one for Marc-Andre Fleury, who grew up just an hour outside of Montreal and cheered for Les Habitants as a child.

Wild goalie Marc-Andre Fleury was honored by his hometown Canadiens in his last road game in Montreal on Thursday.

While the Sharks began January with impressive home wins over the potentially playoff-bound Tampa Bay Lightning and New Jersey Devils, they ended it by winning just two of their last 12 games, with a handful of those losses being blowouts, or just devastating.

The Detroit Red Wings fired Derek Lalonde on Boxing Day to try and spark the team. The hope was that veteran head coach Todd McLellan could come in and lead Detroit toward a respectable finish. His first Red Wings game did not go well as they lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The NHL is expecting a significant increase in regard to the salary cap over the course of the next three years, which should give the Canadiens plenty of financial manoeuvrability as they take the next step in the rebuild.
