All eyes have been on Cale Makar this season when it comes to the Calder Cup. The defenceman made his NHL debut in the playoffs last year similar to what Charlie McAvoy did with the Boston Bruins, and made an immediate impact. Because of his play and production, Nick Suzuki having a shot at the top, hasn’t been discussed as much, but his growing confidence with the Montreal Canadiens is giving him the pedestal to stand up amongst his rookie peers.
Suzuki’s power-play goal against the Anaheim Ducks was his 11th of the season.
