Nick Suzuki has made history for the Montreal Canadiens by becoming the first player in 30 years to score 90 points in a single season. The achievement highlights not only his individual talent but also emphasizes a remarkable moment for the iconic franchise.
Historic Achievement in Canadiens’ History
On Sunday, Suzuki reached the 90-point milestone during a match against the Carolina Hurricanes. He managed to score two points, contributing significantly to his team’s performance.
Key Contributions to the Game
- Suzuki scored his 25th goal of the 2025-2026 season, leveling the game.
- He later assisted on Cole Caufield’s 46th goal, which gave the Canadiens a lead.
- Suzuki added another goal, bringing his total to 91 points for the season.
Last 90-Point Scorer for Canadiens
The last time a player from the Canadiens achieved at least 90 points in a season was in 1995-1996. Pierre Turgeon recorded 96 points, and Vincent Damphousse finished with 94 points that season.
Potential for Historical Milestones
With nine games remaining in the current season, Suzuki could possibly reach 100 points. If he succeeds, he would be the first Canadiens player to do so since Mats Naslund in 1985-1986.
Notable 100-Point Achievements
In the long history of the Montreal Canadiens, only four players have ever reached the 100-point milestone:
| Player | Times Achieved |
|---|---|
| Guy Lafleur | 6 |
| Pete Mahovlich | 2 |
| Steve Shutt | 1 |
| Mats Naslund | 1 |
Suzuki’s impressive performance solidifies his position as a key player for the Canadiens and shows the potential for a bright future ahead.
