Canadiens Captain Nick Suzuki Undergoes Treatment, Maintains Impressive Iron Man Streak

Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki missed practice this morning in Brossard to undergo treatment, marking his second recent absence from the ice. The top-line center has reportedly not had the same 'spring in his step' since blocking a shot in the final seconds of a game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Despite this, Suzuki boasts an impressive 470-game iron man streak in the NHL, having never missed a game. It's suggested he has played through various injuries, even declining Team Canada's World Championships invitations previously. While considered the 'motor of the team,' there are currently no indications that Suzuki will miss Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Kings.
