Canadiens prospect Nick Suzuki leads Guelph on thrilling OHL playoff run Globe_Sports
In the seven games in which the Storm have faced elimination this season, Nick Suzuki has combined for seven goals and 10 assists.He often stays on the periphery, choosing to listen before deciding if the time is right to make his thoughts known.
“You could tell this was coming from a mile away,” said Guelph defenceman Sean Durzi, also part of the trade with Owen Sound. “It’s almost been expected. You see how much work he puts in, how much he studies the game, how smart he is.
Suzuki has 14 goals and 21 assists this spring, and got a taste of what life will be like in one of hockey’s hotbeds when members of Montreal’s media contingent made the short trek to Ottawa for Games 1 and 2.“I’ve noticed it a ton,” he said of the increased attention. “It’s definitely taken a big jump from Vegas. It’s a new, different kind of passion.
“Best-case scenario is I’m playing in the NHL,” said Suzuki, whose younger brother, Ryan, is expected to go early in the 2019 draft. “I want to earn my spot.”In the meantime, 67’s head coach André Tourigny knows Ottawa is in tough against a player of Suzuki’s calibre.
