Habs captain Suzuki out two to four weeks, ending ironman streak at 546 games
The Canadiens said Suzuki has never missed an NHL game and was producing 12 points in nine games this season.
- Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki will be sidelined for two to four weeks with an upper-body injury, the team announced Thursday, ending his 546-game ironman streak.
- Suzuki, who won the Selke Trophy following a 101-point campaign in 2025-26, had never missed an NHL game in his eight seasons and ranked second on the active ironman list behind Colorado Avalanche defenceman Brent Burns.
- Leading the team in scoring with 12 points in nine games, Suzuki's absence creates a significant gap; Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis added, "Luck is part of it," noting staying healthy is an art.
- If Suzuki remains out for four weeks, he will miss 10 games, including the outdoor Heritage Classic in Winnipeg; the team recalled forward Owen Beck from the AHL to address the roster vacancy.
- The Canadiens travel to Chicago for the Blackhawks Friday game, the first of a four-game road trip, as the team looks to maintain momentum without their captain who played over 21 minutes in his last outing.
