Another Montreal Canadiens prospect, Nick Suzuki made an impression in his Guelph Storm debut. The 19-year-old scored a highlight reel overtime winner, helping the Storm defeat the Central Division-leading Niagara IceDogs 6-5 on the road after teammate Nate Schnarr tied the score at five with just seven seconds left in the third period. Suzuki’s 23rd goal of the season gives him 47 points (23-24–47) over 31 games this season. The London, Ont. native has points in five straight contests and recently represented Canada at the 2019 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship. After being a first round pick of the Vegas Golden Knights in 2017, Suzuki’s rights were dealt to the Montreal Canadiens in September 2018.
