Two Tallies Against Vegas

The list will kick off with two highlights in the same game. One coming in regulation to tie the game for the Canadiens. The second came after sudden death overtime when he made a nifty move to beat the goalie for a shootout tally.

This one sounds familiar, and that is because it is the most recent of his highlights. The reason is that this game was his 300th game, and he seemed to have a chip on his shoulder. The emotion that came out of Suzuki when he tied the game was noticeable even for the fans watching the game on the television.

Number one on the list is a two-parter, and that’s because Suzuki was feeling good and decided to show Vegas what they were losing out on. It has to sting a little extra when the big trade was orchestrated for Max Pacioretty, who is now with the Washington Capitals after signing with them in the offseason. Anyways, I digress. Suzuki put the finishing touches on a solid night with a slick shootout tally against Vegas goaltender Adin Hill.

Just a nasty move and a gentleman finish, just sliding the puck in along the ice. Along with his misdirection puck flip goal, Suzuki has taken a liking to the stickhandle move, finishing on the backhand. It’s effective, and it sure looks pretty. He is nicknamed ‘Slick Nick’ for a reason.
