Canadiens Captain Nick Suzuki Is a No. 1 Centre in the NHL - The Hockey Writers Montreal Canadiens Latest News, Analysis & More
The simple statement in the headline, that Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki is a No. 1 centre in the NHL, was written matter of factly, not to necessarily generate controversy (or page views, although that is the undeniable hope). Suzuki was the Canadiens' leading scorer, with career highs in goals (33), assists (44) and points (77). Logically that makes him a No. 1 centre. By the purest definition of the term, because the Canadiens are a team in the NHL, it also makes him a No. 1 centre in the league.

3 Highlights From Juraj Slafkovsky's Sophomore Season With Canadiens
If there is such a thing as the sophomore jinx, you wouldn't have known it watching Juraj Slafkovsky play last season.

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.
