The Montreal Canadiens will have defenceman Kaiden Guhle back in the lineup when they host the Washington Capitals on Saturday night.

Guhle missed Thursday's 3-0 win over the Nashville Predators with an illness.

The 22-year-old from Edmonton has two goals and four assists while averaging 21:34 minutes in ice time over 20 games this season.

Sam Montembeault will start in net for the Canadiens, who look to extend their two-game winning streak.

Watch the Canadiens clash with the Capitals live on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+, starting at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT.
