Just last game, there was a takeaway on this site about how there is still a lot of work to do with this Montreal Canadiens team. Sunday’s 4-3 overtime win against the Philadelphia Flyers showed why it’s still OK to be optimistic.
Nick Suzuki scored twice, and Cole Caufield had the overtime winner and an assist. They are the two main reasons why this Canadiens turnaround can be quicker than a normal team that is last in the NHL. In Suzuki and Caufield, the Canadiens have two bonafide top-six offensive talents. Despite being 22 and 21 respectively, they are two of the stars of this Canadiens team.
