Despite coming into the NHL with over 140 goals scored while skating in the CHL, Nick Suzuki was bound and determined to solidify his name as an elite goal scorer during his rookie season with the Montreal Canadiens. At just 20 years old, the London native wasted no time displaying his nose for finding the back of the net as he gathered a ricocheted shot from teammate Jeff Petry and swiftly sent the puck past the goalkeeper giving the Habs a 3-0 lead over the Minnesota Wild in the first period. Being that Suzuki managed to breakthrough in just his seventh NHL game, he used the momentum and confidence  to accelerate his game to another level finishing his rookie campaign with a 13-28-41 scoring line and all of the motivation in the world heading into the rest of his career.
