Canadiens' Nick Suzuki Announcement Sparks Concern Among Fans Ahead of Tight Schedule
The Canadiens are entering a key stretch with several games in a few days, and Nick Suzuki's name keeps coming up thanks to the stability, consistency, and leadership he brings.
This start to the season shows just how much Suzuki does everything on the ice.
He plays in every situation, he generates offense, and he never slows down.
Since the beginning of the season, he has been present game after game, with almost no break. His name has also been linked as a candidate for the Selke Trophy!
But this morning, something broke that routine a little...
The Nick Suzuki situation at Montreal Canadiens practice
The Habs confirmed that Nick Suzuki will not be at practice today.
He's taking a treatment day.
"Forward Nick Suzuki will not participate in today's practice (therapy day)."

It's not the first time this week. In fact, it's his second missed practice in a few days.
With the busy schedule, these things happen.
But when it's Suzuki, it gets a reaction, because he always plays.
He also has a streak of 470 consecutive games, the second longest in the entire NHL.
That shows how durable and important he is.
He faces the best, he generates offense, he plays on the power play and the penalty kill, and he's on the ice in important moments. In short, I think he's having an incredible start to the season.
He never slows down, but I find that he clearly didn't seem to be at 100% in the last two games.
We also remember that he took a heavy shot at the end of the game against the Flyers last week.
You could see it hurt him.
I'm not saying that's the reason today, but in my opinion, it could be related.
So, a treatment day is not concerning, but two missed practices for the same reason is raising questions.
It's simply normal to take care of a player who gives this much!
