Montreal Canadiens center Nick Suzuki tallied four points during their overtime victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Monday evening. In the opening frame, Suzuki tallied three points on the power-play. He tallied the primary assists on Cole Caufield's and Juraj Slafkovsky's goals. He also found the back of the net on a snap shot. He would tally his fourth point of the evening in overtime on the secondary assist on Mike Matheson's game-winner. This outing extended Suzuki's point streak to five games. During this impressive stretch, the 25-year-old has posted four multi-point games. He has found the back of the net four times and added nine helpers, with six of his points coming on the power-play. Before this impressive surge, Suzuki only tallied two points over his last seven. Given his recent play, he remains a top option in DFS on Thursday when he faces the Edmonton Oilers.

Suzuki found the back of the net twice in the opening frame, both during 5-on-5 play. Then in overtime, Suzuki would tally the primary assist on Cole Caufield's game-winner.

During this impressive three-game stretch, the 25-year-old has found the back of the net three times and added five helpers. Before this slump, Suzuki tallied just one helper over his last six contests. Fantasy managers should continue to view Suzuki as a must-start option in all formats playing top minutes in the Montreal offense. He will look to stay hot on Saturday evening against the Buffalo Sabres.

The big performance ended a four-game scoring drought for Suzuki. He's had a difficult time this month, but Suzuki's overall form has been solid in 2024-25. He's on 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) through 16 outings, having posted six multi-point games. Montreal will need another top-class performance from its leading scorer in Thursday's tough matchup against Minnesota.

He scored his 23rd goal of the season and reached 38 assists for the campaign with a hat trick of helpers. The Canadiens first line clicked superbly all game, as Rafael Harvey-Pinard potted a hat trick and Mike Hoffman notched a goal and two assists.

Montreal Canadiens center Nick Suzuki reached 40 points for the season with a two-assist effort in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Ottawa. He had a power-play helper on Kirby Dach's goal in the first period and set up Rafael Harvey-Pinard in an even-strength situation in the third. This was only his third multi-point effort since the start of December. Suzuki had a big start to the campaign, but cooled off in mid-December and hasn't been able to recapture his form. Prior to Tuesday's action, Suzuki had collected only nine points in 24 games.
Montreal Canadiens center Nick Suzuki is set to miss two weeks with a lower-body injury. The news means that the fresh Canadiens captain won't be available to play for most of the preseason and might be able to get only one game under his belt before the 2022-23 regular season starts. Suzuki had a career year last term with 21 goals and 61 points in 82 games. He's only just turned 23 and there should be a lot more to come from him. Montreal's youngest-ever captain definitely won't stay on the board for long in most fantasy drafts.
Montreal Canadiens forward Nick Suzuki continued his good end-of-the-season run with an assist in Monday's 4-2 loss to Winnipeg. He logged the helper on Josh Anderson's 100th career goal 6:19 into the third period. The 22-year-old has notched 22 points in 20 outings since the start of March. He's on 55 points for the whole campaign and Suzuki is on track to becoming the second-youngest player in franchise history to lead the team in points at the end of a season.

Suzuki has now notched 13 points in 11 games since interim head coach Martin St. Louis took the helm. He's meshed superbly with Cole Caufield, who has recorded 14 points under St. Louis. Montreal's top line will look to cause trouble next against Vancouver on Wednesday, before starting a very favorable run of games against Seattle, Philadelphia and Arizona.
Montreal Canadiens forward Jake Evans (undisclosed) will be back in action on Thursday against Philadelphia, skating on Nick Suzuki's right wing. He returns after sitting out two matchups. Evans has started to feature regularly in the top six, but he hasn't done a lot this season, notching only six points in 24 games with 37 shots. He's on a seven-game point drought ahead of Thursday's contest, so the chances of fireworks from him don't seem high, but Suzuki's presence should help Evans to get better scoring opportunities. The line also features Mike Hoffman.
Montreal Canadiens forward Nick Suzuki finished Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Tampa with a goal and an assist, registering his sixth multi-point outing of the season. He opened the scoring for Montreal and helped Mike Hoffman to his fifth marker of the season. Suzuki scored with his only shot in the game, and he also had one hit in 19:25 of action.

Nick Suzuki Inks Eight-Year Extension With Montreal
Montreal Canadiens forward Nick Suzuki signed an eight-year, $63 million contract with the club on Tuesday. He's going into the final year of his entry-level contract and will carry a $7.875 million cap hit from 2022-23. It's a well-deserved deal for the 22-year-old, who impressed last season with 41 points in 56 regular-season games and led the Canadiens with 16 points during their run to the Stanley Cup finals. Suzuki's new contract will make him Montreal's top earner among forwards as he surpasses Brendan Gallagher's $6.5 million salary-cap hit.
The Montreal Canadiens were defeated in the Stanley Cup finals in five games by the Tampa Bay Lightning but Nick Suzuki was one of many bright spots for the club. The 21-year-old center scored seven goals and recorded 16 points in 22 playoff games. That strong performance came on the heels of a solid regular season that saw him score 15 goals with 41 points in 56 games. Suzuki was originally selected 13th overall by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. He was subsequently traded to Montreal in the Max Pacioretty deal back in 2019 as Vegas went all-in on their efforts to win a championship. Since then, Suzuki has turned into a Top-6 forward and is turning into a fantasy darling. In a twist of fate, he also reached the Stanley Cup finals before the Golden Knights.
