First NHL Goal

Suzuki’s first NHL goal came when the team was up 2-0 against the Minnesota Wild in the 2019-20 season. This goal, while slick, put the Habs up by three goals, so rubbing salt in the wound wouldn’t usually be necessary. It was his first one, and it was huge for his confidence, so a passionate celebration was expected.

This tally showcased Suzuki’s poise and solid puck skills. He slipped a rebound past Alex Stalock from an awkward angle. In my opinion, this kickstarted the offensive confidence in Suzuki. It’s also the Canadiens only win in their last 16 games against the Minnesota Wild, so everything seemed to go the Canadiens way that night.
