Suzuki had three assists in AHL Chicago's 6-4 win over Milwaukee on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Suzuki hadn't logged a multi-point effort since Oct. 19. The 24-year-old is at just two goals and 13 points through 21 outings this season. Suzuki's never really gotten an extended look in the NHL after going 28th overall in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, and his drop in production this year won't help his case for a call-up.

Suzuki scored a goal on three shots and added two assists in AHL Chicago's 6-5 win over Rockford on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Suzuki played in his first two NHL games last year, but he's not ready to be a regular for the Hurricanes. The 24-year-old would likely benefit from a change of scenery, though Carolina has given no indication that will happen any time soon.

Suzuki was designated for waivers by Carolina on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Suzuki made his NHL debut in January but was held off the scoresheet in two regular-season games.
