Against all odds, the Canadiens won by a score of 2-1 in Colorado on Tuesday night. Captain Nick Suzuki opened the scoring for the visitors, but a modification was made in favor of Juraj Slafkovsky.
Indeed, in the early moments of the game, the score was already 1-1 thanks to the captain's goal. David Savard was the only one credited with an assist on the play, but the NHL reversed its decision.
Juraj Slafkovsky was also credited with an assist, marking his 40th point of the season. He thus becomes the most productive 19-year-old player in Canadiens history, surpassing Mario Tremblay.
His progression is simply fantastic. It's great to see him evolve and take on more responsibility. Meanwhile, Nick Suzuki reached his 67th point, his highest total in his career.
