If there is such a thing as the sophomore jinx, you wouldn't have known it watching Juraj Slafkovsky play last season. Unfortunately for Dach and Slavkovsky, however, the former got a season-ending injury. The latter bounced from line to line before finally landing on Nick Suzuki's wing alongside Cole Caufield. Slafkovsky seemed to improve on a nightly basis this past year and here are three of my favorite highlights from the young Slovak's season.
It looks like Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki will take a pass on playing for Team Canada at this year's IIHF World Championship, slated for May 10-26 in Czechia. Suzuki, who hasn't missed a game during his five seasons in the NHL — a streak of 373 consecutive games — received some criticism for not committing to play for Team Canada.
