Kaiden Guhle sustained a lacerated quadricep muscle and will be out indefinitely after surgery.
The defenseman, who was released from the hospital, left a 4-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday 5:38 into the third and had to be helped to the locker room after an awkward fall into the boards.
"Where are we going to feel 'Guhls?' I think all over," Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis said after practice on Wednesday. "He plays a lot of minutes 5-on-5, he kills penalties. I don't think it's one specific (area) but his presence is going to be felt, that he's not here, but it's not one guy that's going to replace him."
Guhle has 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) in 44 games. His 100 blocked shots are second on the Canadiens to David Savard (109).
Defenseman Jayden Struble practiced Wednesday after he was recalled from Laval of the American Hockey League. Struble has five points (two goals, three assists) in 26 games with Montreal this season.
The Canadiens next play against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; RDS, TSN2, FDSNNO, FDSNWI).
