Kaiden Guhle's injury creates opportunity for David Reinbacher with Canadiens

Summary

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Kaiden Guhle is out for several weeks due to injury. This opens the door for top prospect David Reinbacher to prove himself in the NHL. The Canadiens recently featured Reinbacher alongside Lane Hutson in a preseason matchup against the Ottawa Senators. Reinbacher's performance could impact Guhle's future on the team, potentially leading to tough decisions for head coach Martin St. Louis once Guhle returns. Regardless of how well Reinbacher plays, he can be sent to the AHL without waivers, allowing Montreal flexibility on their roster.
