Well, there it is everyone. The focus heading into this season was on whether one of Ryan Poehling or Nick Suzuki could break through and make the Montreal Canadiens.
Many had Poehling in the runner’s seat for the opportunity given his NHL debut last year and his performance at development camp. That continued into the Rookie Tournament and preseason and there was ample evidence to say why Poehling should make it. Unfortunately, the concussion sustained in that game against the Florida Panthers derailed things a bit and kept him out of action despite returning for the exhibition match.
