The Montreal Canadiens are dealing with several potential roster changes following their recent game. Defenseman Kaiden Guhle’s status is uncertain after suffering what looks like a leg injury, while forward Kirby Dach also left the game following a nasty collision.

Dach scored a goal on one shot and logged an assist in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Detroit. He added two hits and two PIM. Dach's wraparound backhander in the second period cut the Red Wings lead to 3-1. The tally and assist continued a productive stretch for the winger, who has eight goals and 10 points over the last 14 outings.

BOTTOM LINE: The Winnipeg Jets will look to keep a three-game win streak alive when they take on the Montreal Canadiens. Montreal is 24-20-5 overall and 13-8-4 in home games. The Canadiens rank fifth in the league serving 9.9 penalty minutes per game.

Dylan Larkin had a power-play goal and an assist in his 700th career NHL game and the Detroit Red Wings snapped a three-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens
