Game changing injury news strikes the Bruins-Canadiens game: Two key players undergo surgery

According to some recent reports, the Montreal Canadiens are going to be shorthanded when they take on the Bruins tonight.

Recently, the Canadiens ended up losing two key players to injuries, with one of them undergoing surgery.

Both players are expected to miss a significant amount of time with their injuries.

Ahead of their game tonight, two key Montreal Canadiens players underwent surgery.

In their most recent game against the Dallas Stars, forward Alex Newhook had a scary collision where his feet awkwardly went into the boards.

Newhook ended up leaving the game and would not return. It didn't matter much for this game, considering the Canadiens ended up losing 7-0, but little did they know he was going to be out long-term.

The Canadiens announced that Newhook underwent surgery for a fractured ankle and is now going to be out for four months.

Along with that, defenseman Kaiden Guhle ended up also undergoing surgery for a torn adductor and is going to miss 2-3 months as well.

This is horrible news for the Canadiens, losing two key players at the same time, but the Bruins will look to take advantage of this and get back in the win column tonight.
