Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Making mockery of OHL

With 20 points in his last six games, Suzuki is arguably the OHL's hottest player. He is averaging nearly two points per game (41 points in 23 games) since his move from Owen Sound to Guelph in early January and Suzuki has firmly established himself as one of the top offensive prospects in the game. Montreal will be forced to give him a long look in training camp this coming fall.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Finding groove with new OHL club

As expected, the move from Owen Sound to Guelph has suited Suzuki just fine. He now has eight points in his first three games with the club while skating alongside Flyers prospect Isaac Ratcliffe and Blackhawks property MacKenzie Entwistle. That trio has the skill (Suzuki), size (Ratcliffe) and tenacity (Entwistle) to terrorize OHL defenders for the remainder of the year. Suzuki now has 53 points in 33 games on the season.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Gets invite to World Juniors

There's a good chance Suzuki will make Team Canada's roster for the tournament, which begins Dec. 26 in Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia. Suzuki earned the invite by posting stellar numbers for Owen Sound of the OHL. In 27 games with the Attack, the 19-year-old center has 20-21-41 totals and is plus-11. Suzuki was Montreal's prize acquisition from Vegas in the Max Pacioretty deal, though Tomas Tatar hasn't been too shabby at the NHL level.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Has big weekend for Attack

Suzuki earned the first star Sunday with a goal and two assists following his two-goal outburst Saturday. He's scored in three straight and 13 times in the last 11 games. The 19-year-old Suzuki is considered the featured piece Montreal landed when it traded Max Pacioretty to Vegas.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Strong start at Owen Sound

Suzuki was the prized haul from Vegas in the Max Pacioretty deal, but the early contributions from Tomas Tatar (eight points), the other player Montreal acquired, make this trade look like a crime. Suzuki's been playing center since the Canadiens' organization acquired him, and he's won 53 percent (51 of 97) of the draws.
