Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Stellar statline in OT loss
Rotowire
Suzuki tallied a goal, recorded three assists, posted a plus-four rating, fired four shots on net and dished out four hits in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to Pittsburgh.
Despite the Canadiens coming up short in OT, Suzuki was instrumental in getting his squad to the extra period in the first place. He stuffed the stat sheet with three primary helpers, which were on goals tucked away by three different players. In addition to the goal he scored himself, he defended well by maintaining a plus-four rating and dishing out four hits in the process. The reigning Selke Trophy winner is not only coming off a phenomenal defensive season, but one where he compiled 29 goals and 101 points across 82 regular-season games. As a player who has never missed a regular-season game and carries a high all-around ceiling, Suzuki is one of the true elite centers in fantasy.

Rotowire
Suzuki notched three assists, four shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Suzuki earned his third multi-point effort of the postseason. He had a hand in Cole Caufield's goal in the first period as well as both of Juraj Slafkovsky's tallies in the final frame. Suzuki is up to four goals, 12 assists, eight power-play points, 31 shots, 29 hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 15 playoff outings. He should continue to generate plenty of offense from a top-line role.

Rotowire
Suzuki scored a power-play goal and added two assists Thursday, one with the man advantage, during the Canadiens' 6-3 win over the Sabres in Game 5 of their second-round series.
After helping to set up Cole Caufield for Montreal's opening tally early in the first period, Suzuki potted his own late in the second before having a hand in a third-period goal by Ivan Demidov. It was Suzuki's first multi-point performance since the first game of the Habs' playoff run, but he has yet to go two straight games this postseason without getting onto the scoresheet. The 26-year-old center has four goals and 12 points through 12 contests, including two goals and seven points on the power play, into Game 6 on Saturday with a chance to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Suzuki scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Sabres in Game 2.
Suzuki's goal streak is up to three games, and he's added 10 shots on net and six hits in that span. The top-line center is up to eight points, 17 shots, 20 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across nine playoff outings. Suzuki will continue to be a key part of the Canadiens' offense as the series shifts to Montreal for Games 3 and 4 on Sunday and Tuesday, respectively.

Suzuki scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres in Game 1.
Suzuki has tallied in each of the last two games, though he wasn't able to do enough to help the Canadiens start the second round on a positive note. The 26-year-old center has two goals, five assists, 13 shots on net, 19 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across eight playoff contests. He'll continue to see a massive role as the top-line center.
