Canadiens getting huge Nick Suzuki boost vs. Mammoth
The Montreal Canadiens spent their last six games dealing with something they’d never experienced during Nick Suzuki’s NHL career: playing without him.
The 27-year-old hadn’t missed a single regular-season game since debuting in 2019, appearing in 546 consecutive contests.
Suzuki was injured blocking a shot against the San Jose Sharks on Oct. 20 and was given a 2-4 week recovery timeline.
On Thursday night, that absence will end; Suzuki will return to the lineup against the Utah Mammoth at the Bell Centre, the team announced.
Suzuki’s streak of 546 consecutive NHL games was the league’s second-longest active streak and the 20th-longest all-time.
