The Montreal Canadiens will be without two promising young players for an extended period of time.
Newhook’s procedure to repair a fractured ankle took place on Friday and he is expected to miss four months.
He sustained the injury in the second period against the Dallas Stars on Thursday while chasing a puck into the Stars’ end on the forecheck. He was tripped up and went feet-first into the end boards.
Newhook appeared to be in immediate pain and was helped off the ice by teammates.
The 24-year-old from St. John’s, N.L., joined the Canadiens via trade from the Colorado Avalanche before the 2023-24 season.
The team recalled centre Jared Davidson from the American Hockey League’s Laval Rocket on Friday to replace Newhook on the active roster.
Guhle underwent surgery Thursday in New York for a partially torn adductor muscle and is anticipated to be out for eight to 10 weeks.
The 23-year-old had been out of the lineup since Oct. 16 with a lower-body injury.
Newhook has 12 points (six goals, six assists) through 17 games this season.
Guhle has two points and has averaged just over 19 minutes in five games played during 2025-26.
Montreal currently leads the Atlantic Division but has lost four of its last five games heading into a showdown with its archrival Boston Bruins on Saturday at Bell Centre.
