News: 2 days agoSuzuki scored a goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Nashville.
Spin: Suzuki extended his point streak to three games in Thursday's loss, where he tallied an unassisted goal just over three minutes into the second period. Overall, the 27-year-old center is up to three goals, seven points, a plus-3 rating, nine shots on goal and eight hits across four outings to begin the new season. While Montreal's offense as a whole took a hit with the loss of Ivan Demidov (lower body) to injured reserve, Suzuki has showcased enough skill across his eight-year NHL career to stay the course when another key offensive player goes down to injury. Fresh off a 101-point showing across 82 regular-season games a year ago, Suzuki projects to challenge the century mark once again in 2026-27, where he is an elite fantasy option in all league formats.
