Guhle sustained a head injury April 4 versus the Lightning that cost him the last seven games of the season, but he hasn't been ruled out from joining Team Canada at the IIHF World Championship in May, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.
Guhle will conclude his second NHL season with 22 points, 95 shots on net, 116 hits, 178 blocked shots, 56 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 70 contests. He mainly played in a top-four role. Guhle's injury was not classified as a concussion, and it's possible he could get a little more playing time at Worlds before the offseason.

Canadiens' Kaiden Guhle: Won't finish contest
Rotowire
Guhle (upper body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Lightning.
Guhle took a hard hit into the boards in the first period, and it's enough to keep him out for the rest of the game.

Canadiens' Kaiden Guhle: First career three-point game
Rotowire
Guhle scored a goal and two assists while adding a plus-4 rating in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
Sunday was the first three-point game of Guhle's career. It brings the 22-year-old defender to six goals and 19 points through 66 games this season. The young defenseman is showing promise, but it's hard for fantasy managers to count on him despite regularly playing around 20 minutes each night. In the 15 games prior to Sunday's game, Guhle had just one goal and one assist.

Canadiens' Kaiden Guhle: Halts goal drought
Rotowire
Guhle scored a goal on one shot, blocked four shots and doled out one hit in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Edmonton.
Guhle streaked through the neutral zone down an open alley on the left side, accepted a feed from Jake Evans, and beat Calvin Pickard cleanly glove side to knot the game at 2-2 early in the third period. The tally, Guhle's career-high fifth, snapped an 18-game run without a goal for Guhle. The tally got him to an even plus-minus for the game and helped erase the image of Connor McDavid victimizing him in the first period for Edmonton's first goal, an opportunity created by a teammate's bad turnover in the Montreal zone. As a sign of the coaching staff's growing confidence in the 22-year-old, Guhle spent a team-high 12:28 on the ice with McDavid at five-on-five Tuesday.
