One thing players love to experience, and fans love to witness is a, “Welcome to the NHL” moment. If you’re a fan of the Marvel movies, you can equate it to Tony Stark knighting Peter Parker during Avengers: Infinity War. Whether it’s looking across at the opening faceoff to see a superstar in front of you or someone laying a big hit on you, it happens to everyone. Nick Suzuki definitely had a number of those moments this season on the Montreal Canadiens, and thankfully, he didn’t let it get to him.
Suzuki fought his way to earn the trust of the coaching staff starting out on the fourth line next to Nate Thompson, playing as high as the top line with Philip Danault, now establishing himself as an NHL centre.
