Hopefully Guhle's injury isn't too bad, but the fact that they need time to fully diagnose him probably means there's swelling. That's not a good sign.
Losing him definitely hurts our D. He played 8 minutes in the 1st period alone today. He plays against all the top players.
This does allow Hutson, Matheson & Xhekaj to all play the left-side.
Matheson-Carrier was terrible tonight, though.
Savard - Carrier was actually a thing at several points in the game. They seemed fine especially since Carrier can move the puck.
Hutson-Matheson
Savard-Carrier
Xhekaj-Struble
I guess we'll see what they come up with. I definitely don't expect to see Guhle back before the 4 Nations.
We have 2 weeks til then & 2 weeks of break. Maybe that's enough?
6 games total over a month.
