![Nick Suzuki: one of the NHL’s best in shootouts](https://cdn.buminteractif.com/2023/07/nick-suzuki-fusillade.jpg)
Who’s the Canadiens’ best shootout player? Nick Suzuki, of course. But did you know that the Tricolore captain is among the NHL’s elite in this regard?
Everyone knows about his famous spoon technique for beating goalies in shootouts, but Suzuki has more than one trick up his sleeve. NHL Network’s Mike Kelly even analyzed his work to show that he’s capable of scoring in a variety of ways thanks to his impressive ability to analyze the game.
Didn’t have time to get to it on NHL Now today but a little breakdown of what makes Nick Suzuki’s shootout move so tough to stop… @NHLNetwork pic.twitter.com/KSrhqDI3fc

But the most impressive player on this list is Quebecer Frédérick Gaudreau. He does a good job offensively, but to be the NHL’s fourth-best shootout player is truly incredible.
Back to Suzuki. The Canadiens’ captain has scored seven shootout goals in the last three seasons on just 13 attempts. If he continues at this pace, he may just approach the all-time record held by Jonathan Toews.
It’s pretty impressive to see Suzuki rank above great players like Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid or Alex Ovechkin for an offensive statistic.
