Nick Suzuki and Alex Newhook Made a Special Gesture During Kaiden Guhle's Fight

As you know, the Montreal Canadiens defenseman Kaiden Guhle dropped the gloves against the Anaheim Ducks last night.

You may also know that we are talking about a young defenseman with a significant history of concussions who really can't afford to take any more risks.

In this context, the page HabsOnReddit highlighted a very interesting element.. A special gesture made by Nick Suzuki and Alex Newhook as an act of care for their teammate and friend.

Did Nick Suzuki and Alex Newhook try to protect Kaiden Guhle?

According to the circulating footage, it does seem that before and during Guhle's fight, two of his friends visibly tried to protect him from himself.

And Alex Newhook did the same thing a few moments later.

It's really heartwarming to see, and I thought it was worth mentioning.

Indeed, in the footage, you can see Suzuki and Newhook trying to grab Guhle by the jersey to pull him away from his opponent (Ryan Strome) without success.

In the end, everything turned out fine for Guhle (fortunately), but I still find it heartwarming to see. His friends really tried to protect him in this situation.

Guhle, aged 22, is a left-handed defenseman who was drafted 16th overall (1st round) by the Montreal Canadiens in 2020.

He has accumulated 6 points in 22 games this season after recording 22 points in 70 games during the 2023-24 season.
