Canadiens’ Nick Suzuki Returns From Injury
Nick Suzuki’s absence from the Montreal Canadiens will end after six games. According to a team announcement, the Canadiens confirmed that their captain had fully recovered from his upper-body injury and will return to the lineup this evening against the Utah Mammoth.
Montreal isn’t used to a lineup without Suzuki. The 27-year-old center had not missed a regular-season game since debuting in 2019, playing 546 consecutive contests. It was the league’s second-longest active streak, and the 20th-longest streak all-time. Unfortunately, Suzuki’s streak ended after blocking a shot against the San Jose Sharks on October 20th.
