The NHL gave a well-deserved little gift to Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki
The Montreal Canadiens were led by their captain Nick Suzuki to finally taste victory on Monday afternoon in Buffalo.
It's very rare that games are presented during the day in the middle of the week, but that was the case yesterday and the Canadiens took advantage of it to put an end to their nasty series of losses.
What should be noted from this game is that the best players of the CH were the best, quite simply. And the veterans stood up, something we hadn't seen all season.
Christian Dvorak and Josh Anderson each had a goal and an assist, while Cole Caufield scored twice, Lane Hutson and Kirby Dach had two assists, Juraj Slafkovsky had three assists and Nick Suzuki had four points.
This has been true for a few hours, while the captain only had three points after the game. The NHL added an assist on the 7th goal of the game, scored into an empty net.
It's well deserved, since Nick had a great game. He was heavily criticized during the last game, when the effort wasn't there, and he responded.
He played for 21 minutes and he's the reason the team won. It was said that the Canadiens would get out of this losing streak thanks to the leaders, and the captain took things in hand.
It's also worth noting the timing of his two goals, right at the end of the 2nd period, bringing the score to 4-3 Canadiens.
It's good to see the big guys on the team producing for once. Hopefully it stays that way, because when the whole world is down at the same time, it's not easy for anyone.
