Twenty-three-year-old forward Nick Suzuki has been named the next captain of the Montreal Canadiens.
Suzuki succeeds Shea Weber, who wore the "C" from 2018-22. The native of London, Ont., is also the youngest captain in franchise history as he enters his fourth NHL season.
The Canadiens acquired Suzuki — who Vegas selected in the first round (13th overall) in 2017 — along with Tomas Tatar and a draft pick from the Golden Knights in exchange for another former captain in Max Pacioretty just before the start of the 2018-19 campaign.
Suzuki made his NHL debut with the Habs in 2019-20 and was named to the NHL's All-Rookie Team that season.
