MONTREAL | Nick Suzuki scored a goal and had three assists to experience the joys of a four-point game in the NHL for the first time. But after the 8-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, the captain talked more about his left winger than himself.

“HP (Harvey-Pinard) had a great game. It is a huge surprise for us and several supporters. I'm really proud of him. He becomes a big part of our team. »
– Nick Suzuki
In a press conference, Martin St-Louis also devoted a large portion of his answers to the subject of the first star of the game, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard. The head coach described what he does well on an ice rink by listing the details in his game.
“His ethics work is above average. I also like his level of competition. He is very committed on both sides of the ice. It's rare that he doesn't do his job defensively. He reads the game well. Not just in terms of where the puck is going, but also where the opponent and where his teammates are. »
– Martin St-Louis
Brendan Gallagher scored his team's fifth goal, taking advantage of a nice pass from Jake Evans in the second period. It was only his fifth goal this season. But he only played 28 games.

“I was just happy after that goal, I was blocked about three shots during this presence. It was a good night. As a line, we often had possession of the puck. I felt good on the ice.
