Montreal Canadiens: Nick Suzuki shows more of skill on Memorial Cup stage

After two days, all Montreal Canadiens prospects have seen action at the 2019 Memorial Cup. 2018 fifth round pick Cole Fonstad and the Prince Albert Raiders started off slow while Joël Teasdale and the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies couldn’t build off the first-period lead they made in Saturday’s match. But what was a disappointment for Teasdale and the Huskies was countered by cheers for Nick Suzuki and the Guelph Storm.

The final score of the game was 5-2, and three of them came off the stick of Alexey Toropchenko who stole the show. Toropchenko virtually ended the night early for Rouyn-Noranda with his natural hat trick in the first period, a feat that hasn’t been reached since Nathan Mackinnon in 2013 (via Ryan McKenna of Sportsnet).
