MONTREAL – The Canadiens held a morning skate at the Bell Centre ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Anaheim Ducks.

Kaiden Guhle joined his teammates for the session. The 22-year-old defenseman left Sunday’s game against the St. Louis Blues late in the third period and did not return. Head coach Martin St-Louis confirmed he is good to go for tonight's game.
