Canadiens vs Penguins prediction
Canadiens vs Penguins Best bet: Nick Suzuki Over 0.5 assists (-135)
Nick Suzuki is having a solid campaign for the Montreal Canadiens, leading the team with 25 helpers to go along with eight goals as well. The Habs captain has been busy making plays lately, tallying an assist in eight of his last nine games.
Although Montreal was hammered 6-1 by the Lightning on Tuesday, Suzuki got in on the action, helping set up his team’s lone goal. On the road this season, Suzuki has 13 helpers in 13 appearances.
The 26-year-old also produced the goods last season against the Pittsburgh Penguins. In three meetings, he posted one goal and two assists. This pick is a no-brainer considering the kind of run Suzuki is on right now.
