Canadiens: Nick Suzuki’s Most Memorable Highlights Through 300 Games
Suzuki Outmuscles JG Pageau, and Scores Slick Tally
This goal came against the Ottawa Senators during the final preseason game. Suzuki pinned Jean Gabriel Pageau to the boards behind goaltender Anders Nilsson. A clever, hard-working play all-around, Suzuki stripped the puck from Pageau before scoring a wraparound five-hole.
It seems odd to include a preseason goal, but the significance of Suzuki putting the finishing touches on the Canadiens’ preseason was a great boost to his confidence. The tally showed his poise, strength and his nifty puck skills. And it was a push in the direction ahead of the regular season.
