The Montreal Canadiens are coming into tonight’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights on a strong note with three wins in their last four games, thanks in large part to the efforts of Nick Suzuki.

The captain has been a driving force behind the team’s offense during that span with six points and a team-leading 12 shots, and I’ll look for him to continue to get pucks on net in my Golden Knights vs. Canadiens predictions and NHL picks for Saturday, Nov. 23

My Canadiens analysis
The Montreal Canadiens recorded their second straight victory on Monday, this time with an impressive 3-0 shutout win over the Oilers. Nick Suzuki found the scoresheet for the second straight game with an assist while registering a team-high four shots on net.

The Habs captain has made a habit of putting a lot of pucks on net lately, and I’m betting he’ll register more than 2.5 shots tonight against the Las Vegas Golden Knights.

Suzuki has scored at least four shots in two of his last four outings, with a team-leading 12 total in that span. Since October 27, Suzuki leads Montreal with 26 shots – an average of 2.36 shots per game.

The Golden Knights have stumbled of late, going 3-3-1 in their last seven games while giving up 30.4 shots per game in that span – ninth-most in the NHL. Vegas is also coming off one of its worst defensive performances of the season in terms of shots allowed after Ottawa put 40 on net Thursday.

Suzuki plays 19:56 per game – two minutes more than any other Canadiens forward – so he will have plenty of opportunities to put pucks on net against an inconsistent Golden Knights defense.
