Big news, Canadiens fans! Get ready, because the Canadiens are gearing up for a Saturday showdown against the Detroit Red Wings at the Bell Centre, and the team is making some key adjustments. Here's the inside scoop from the morning skate on January 10th, 2026.
First off, defenseman Kaiden Guhle is back in action! Coach Martin St-Louis confirmed his return, which is a major boost for the team. Plus, Jacob Fowler will be taking his place in the net to start the game.
But here's where it gets interesting: Kirby Dach and Patrik Laine were seen skating with the group, wearing blue jerseys. This usually means they were participating in a no-contact practice, which is a positive sign for their return. Jake Evans also joined the session in a regular jersey.
Here's a glimpse at the rest of the team's preparations:
The game is set to begin at 7:00 p.m. ET. And it's not just about the game; the Canadiens are also wrapping up Family Week, presented by Kraft in collaboration with Parc Omega.
