Suzuki Goes Scoreless as Montréal Wins in Boston
The Canadiens' captain-less box score line stays blank while the visitors beat the Bruins 5-2 at TD Garden.
Nick Suzuki finished without a point in Montréal's 5-2 win over the Bruins at TD Garden. He had no goals, no assists, no shots on goal and was 0 in plus/minus.
He still played 19:55 over 19 shifts. That was fourth among the 18 Canadiens skaters and second among the team's forwards, but not the team high. He had no hits, no blocked shots, no takeaways and no giveaways, and he took no penalties.
The blank line stands apart from his numbers so far. Through 13 games he has 7 goals and 9 assists for 16 points, with 34 shots and a plus 10 rating. He averages about 21 minutes a night, so this was a touch under that.
Montréal did not need him on the scoresheet. The win, on the road against the Atlantic leaders, keeps the Canadiens at 11-3-4 and rolling.
