Suzuki scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged three hits in Friday's 6-3 win over the Capitals in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Suzuki has scored twice over three playoff games, adding 10 shots on net, four hits and an even plus-minus rating. The top-line center continues to handle massive minutes, and the Canadiens will need his offense to stay competitive in the team's first-round series. Suzuki had a career year with 89 points across 82 regular-season contests in 2024-25, so he's no stranger to racking up points.

Suzuki scored a goal on seven shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Suzuki tied the game at 2-2 with 4:15 left in the third period, capitalizing with a patient shot after Logan Thompson got out of position. While the Canadiens were able to dig out of a 2-0 hole from earlier in the game, Alex Ovechkin sealed the Capitals' win just 2:26 into overtime. Suzuki racked up an eye-popping 15 goals and 37 points over the last 26 games of the regular season, and his momentum has carried over into the playoffs, though Montreal faces an uphill battle.

Suzuki scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old center was involved in Montreal's first two goals of the night, with his own tally being his 30th of the season -- the second straight campaign Suzuki has reached that milestone. He wraps up an impressive regular season with a career-high 89 points and plus-19 rating, and he'll head into a first-round matchup against the Capitals with a full head of steam, having delivered six multi-point performances in the last 10 games while racking up eight goals and 15 points.

The 25-year-old is up to 29 goals and 87 points across 79 appearances this campaign -- his previous personal best was 77 points in 2023-24.

Suzuki recorded a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Suzuki closed out the scoring for the Canadiens with an empty-netter in the final stages of the third period, and he also assisted on Cole Caufield's goal in the second frame. This was Suzuki's 10th goal in 19 appearances since the beginning of March, a span in which he's racked up 26 total points and a plus-12 rating. Furthermore, he also extended his point streak to six outings, a span in which he's recorded five multi-point contests and 12 total points.

Suzuki notched an assist in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
This was Suzuki's first game with a single point during his five-game point streak, a span in which he has five goals and five assists. The 25-year-old center has 32 points in 21 outings since the 4 Nations Face-Off break -- perhaps he was motivated by not being named to Team Canada's tournament roster. Suzuki has put the Canadiens on his back lately, and they're now up six points on the Rangers and the Red Wings for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Suzuki is at 27 goals, 57 assists, 161 shots on net, 67 blocked shots, 58 hits and a plus-17 rating through 77 appearances.

Suzuki recorded a shorthanded goal and an even-strength assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
This was Suzuki's fourth consecutive multi-point effort, and the star center came through when Montreal needed him the most. He assisted on Lane Hutson's go-ahead goal in the early stages of the third period, and Suzuki's shorthanded goal midway through the final frame wound up being the game-winner. Suzuki has fueled Montreal's playoff push with nine points over his last four appearances. He has already established a new career high in points with 83 this season, but he's still six goals shy of last season's career-best 33.

Suzuki had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over Boston on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Suzuki has three multipoint games in a row for the fourth time this season. The last time a Montreal player pulled that off was in 1995-96, when Vincent Damphousse did it. Suzuki has 81 points (26 goals, 55 assists) in 75 games, and he's the first Canadiens player to hit the 80-point mark since Alex Kovalev had 84 in 2007-08.

Suzuki scored two goals, one on the overtime winner, in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old just about single-handedly won the game for the Habs. With Montreal down 2-1 and its goalie pulled late in the third period, Suzuki pounced on a loose puck and deposited it behind Vitek Vanecek with nine seconds left in regulation. Not content with earning just one point in the standings for his club, Suzuki then scored the winner 29 seconds into OT, speeding around the net and scoring on the wraparound before Vanecek could cover the far post. Suzuki is up to 25 goals on the season -- the third straight campaign in which he's reached that milestone -- and he's been on fire since the 4 Nations Face-Off, amassing 10 goals and 27 points in the last 18 games as the Canadiens try to secure a playoff spot.

Suzuki netted a goal, dished out two power-play assists and fired two shots on net in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The first of Suzuki's two helpers was a secondary assist with a man advantage on Patrik Laine's opening goal before he had the primary helper on Juraj Slafkovsky's power-play goal in the second period. Suzuki then scored Montreal's only even-strength goal of the night just over two minutes into the third period off a feed from Lane Hutson. The 25-year-old Suzuki is up to 23 goals, 54 assists and 152 shots on net in 73 appearances this season. With his trio of points Sunday, Suzuki tied his career high in points of 77 from a season ago and is a shoo-in to reach the 80-point mark for the first time in his career. He currently ranks 19th in the league in points and leads the Canadiens by 14 points over Cole Caufield's 63. With each passing season, Suzuki continues to cement himself as a superstar-level talent. Suzuki has 25 points in his last 17 games, giving him tremendous value in all fantasy formats for the rest of the postseason.
