Top Performers from Montreal Canadiens


Nick Suzuki, a forward for the Montreal Canadiens, has emerged as a beacon of hope and excellence for his team.

His performance against the Buffalo Sabres was particularly noteworthy where he scored a goal and assisted three more, showcasing his pivotal role in the team's offensive strategies. With a shooting percentage of 25 percent in that game and an average time on ice of over 20 minutes across the games, Suzuki's contributions are invaluable.


Another notable player is Juraj Slafkovsky, also a forward, who demonstrated his scoring ability by netting 1 goal and assisting another against the Buffalo Sabres. His consistent physical presence and ability to capitalize on opportunities make him a player to watch in the upcoming game.

Seattle Kraken's Key Players

His ability to find spaces and create scoring opportunities has been crucial for his team. With an average shooting percentage of 33 percent over the last three games and contributing significantly in terms of points, Beniers is expected to be a central figure in his team's strategy against Montreal.


Jordan Eberle is another player from Seattle Kraken who has shown promise by scoring a goal with a shooting percentage of 33 percent against Washington Capitals. His experience and knack for being at the right place at the right time could prove beneficial for Seattle.

However, Nick Suzuki's exceptional form suggests that he could have an outsized impact on whether Montreal Canadiens can outplay Seattle Kraken in their own den. While both teams boast talented rosters capable of making significant contributions, it will ultimately come down to which team can better execute their game plan and capitalize on their chances.
