Canadiens lineup vs Senators: Nick Suzuki to make on-ice debut as captain
Oct 4, 2022 - 2:42 PM
Nick Suzuki will make his 2022-23 pre-season debut on Tuesday night at the Bell Centre when the Montreal Canadiens take on the Ottawa Senators.
It will be Suzuki’s first game wearing the captain’s C on his jersey.
Not surprisingly, Suzuki will be playing next to Cole Caufield. The third member of the line will be first overall pick Juraj Slafkovsky. It will be a big test for the youngster after he had his best game of the pre-season against Toronto.
