Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Three-point effort in return to lineup
Rotowire
Suzuki scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.
Making his return from a six-game absence due to a hand injury, the star center got right to work and got Montreal on the board late in the first period. After setting up Kirby Dach for a power-play tally early in the third, Suzuki then initiated the sequence that resulted in Cole Caufield's winner just 30 seconds into OT. Suzuki has a five-game point streak going dating back to Oct. 13, and on the season he's produced six goals and 15 points in just 10 contests.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Back in action Thursday
Rotowire
Suzuki (hand) will play in Thursday's home clash against the Mammoth, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
After getting the green light from head coach Martin St. Louis and the Canadiens' medical staff, Suzuki will make his return to the lineup after missing each of the team's last six games. The 27-year-old center has a track record of displaying toughness, as he played all 82 regular-season games in each of the last five campaigns. Prior to going down this season, Suzuki was excellent with five goals, 12 points, a plus-6 rating, 26 shots on net, 14 hits and seven blocked shots across just nine games. Expect the Habs' captain to return to his usual role on the team's top line and first power play, which positions him well for fantasy success moving forward.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Suzuki (hand) is questionable for Thursday's game against Utah, per Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette.
Suzuki hasn't played since Oct. 20 due to the injury, but it sounds like he's day-to-day at this point. The 27-year-old has five goals and 12 points in nine appearances in 2026-27. Suzuki might serve on the top line if he's ready to return Thursday, which would presumably push Alex Newhook out of the first unit and into a middle-six role.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Facing multi-week absence
Rotowire
The Canadiens announced Thursday that Suzuki is expected to miss 2-4 weeks due to an upper-body injury.
Suzuki had appeared in 546 consecutive regular-season games for Montreal, but his iron-man streak will come to an end early in the 2026-27 campaign due to his upper-body injury. He was off to a solid start to begin the year, recording five goals, seven assists, 14 hits, seven blocked shots and two PIM while averaging 21:47 of ice time across his first nine appearances of the regular season. Given his return timetable, the 27-year-old will likely be in the mix to return in early-to-mid November.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Two points against San Jose
Rotowire
Suzuki picked up a goal on four shots on net and added an assist, a blocked shot and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Montreal's top line of Suzuki, Cole Caufield and Juraj Slafkovsky accounted for all the team's scoring and wasn't on the ice for either of San Jose's even-strength tallies. Suzuki has a tidy four-game point streak going, and through nine contests to begin the season he's delivered five goals and 12 points as he looks to repeat or even exceed his 101-point campaign from 2025-26.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Pots power-play goal
Rotowire
Suzuki scored a power-play goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.
Suzuki's tally got the Canadiens within a goal late in the third period, but they weren't able to tie it. The 27-year-old center is up to four goals, five assists, 20 shots, 11 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over seven contests this season. Remarkably, his goal Wednesday was his first power-play point of the campaign. Once he gets rolling with the man advantage, he'll be a true force on offense as he looks to repeat his 101-point regular season from last year.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Finds twine in loss
Rotowire
Suzuki scored a goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Nashville.
Suzuki extended his point streak to three games in Thursday's loss, where he tallied an unassisted goal just over three minutes into the second period. Overall, the 27-year-old center is up to three goals, seven points, a plus-3 rating, nine shots on goal and eight hits across four outings to begin the new season. While Montreal's offense as a whole took a hit with the loss of Ivan Demidov (lower body) to injured reserve, Suzuki has showcased enough skill across his eight-year NHL career to stay the course when another key offensive player goes down to injury. Fresh off a 101-point showing across 82 regular-season games a year ago, Suzuki projects to challenge the century mark once again in 2026-27, where he is an elite fantasy option in all league formats.

Suzuki has delivered back-to-back multi-point performances, giving him two goals and six points through three games to begin the campaign along with eight shots on net, eight hits and a plus-4 rating.

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.
Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Distributes three helpers in win
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.
