The Montreal Canadiens continued their comeback streak against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night. Cole Caufield once again played the hero in a thrilling affair that saw the Habs draw even with the Winnipeg Jets for third in the North Division. But Caufield’s heroics — while definitely noteworthy — perhaps overshadowed the top performance of the night.
Nick Suzuki was the best forward on the ice last night for Montreal, and arguably the best on either side.
This year hasn’t been without struggles for him. There have been times where he looked a little lost, seemingly lacking confidence.
