Captain Nick Suzuki makes a bold request to Martin St-Louis about the lines
As the Montreal Canadiens training camp kicks off, captain Nick Suzuki has clearly expressed his wish.
He has shared his desire to play the entire season with Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield.
This trio, which demonstrated great chemistry last season, could become one of the offensive strengths of the team.
However, head coach Martin St-Louis may need to adjust his lines depending on injuries or performance. Of course, Patrik Laine’s injury could change everything.
Nick Suzuki would like Martin St-Louis to keep his line with Cole Caufield and Juraj Slafkovsky intact
Despite this, Suzuki hopes to keep his line intact, stating that the more they play together, the better it will be for their development and for the team.
Already, during intra-squad games, the connection between Suzuki, Slafkovsky, and Caufield was evident, with spectacular plays exciting fans. Suzuki, confident, predicts that the upcoming season could be the one where they reach personal highs in points and goals.
The future of the Montreal Canadiens looks promising, and expectations are high for this young team full of potential, with key players ready to establish themselves as club pillars.
Suzuki, 25, collected 77 points in 82 games last season, including 33 goals.
Caufield, 23, tallied 65 points in 82 games last season, including 28 goals.
Slafkovsky, 20, notched 50 points in 82 games last season, with 20 goals, though the majority of these points came in the second half of the schedule, precisely when he was promoted to the captain’s line.
