Just 11:34 into the first period in Nashville, Demidov took a neutral-zone turnover, skated in on the rush, and ripped a wrister off the post and in — his 16th of the season and the play on which Suzuki recorded the 300th assist of his NHL career. The goal set the tone for a dominant 4–1 Canadiens win, their fourth straight, as Montreal climbed into third place in the Atlantic Division. Suzuki reached the milestone at just 26 years old, having served as the Habs' captain and offensive engine through the team's rebuild.
