Pierre McGuire's Bold Prediction: Nick Suzuki Could Be Closing In on a Historic Canadiens Milestone
After setting a personal best of 89 points last season, could Nick Suzuki break the mythical 100-point mark this season?
It's a question that is sparking more and more discussion among Montreal Canadiens fans, with some analysts not hesitating to show optimism.
During a recent media appearance, analyst Pierre McGuire didn't hide his confidence in the Canadiens' captain:

Since the start of his career in Montreal, Suzuki has established himself as the offensive heart of the Canadiens. Last season, he scored 33 goals and 56 assists, while showing impressive consistency over the full 82 games.
His chemistry with Cole Caufield and the rise of young offensive talents like Juraj Slafkovskı could give him the perfect conditions to surpass his previous stats.
An ambitious but realistic goal
Reaching the 100-point mark remains a major challenge in today's NHL, where only the very top offensive stars regularly achieve it.
For Suzuki, it would mean maintaining an average of about 1.22 points per game-a significant but achievable jump given his current pace and the overall improvement of Montreal's offense.
If the Canadiens' captain manages to reach this milestone, he would become the first Montreal player to do so since Vincent Damphousse in 1992-1993.
Such a performance would not only mark a major moment in the team's recent history but also cement Suzuki's status as a true NHL superstar.
