NHL.com predictions: Suzuki, Caufield and Slaf will have their best seasons ever
Auteur: Sarah JonesAll three of the Habs’ young players enjoyed their best offensive seasons ever.
Suzuki (77 points), Caufield (65 points) and Slaf (50 points) were the club’s most productive forwards for the entire season.
NHL.com has answered that question… And if predictions are anything to go by, the three musketeers will again break their record for points in a single campaign:
- 81 points for Suzuki
- 75 points for Caufield
- 67 points for Slafkovsky
The NHL also predicts a 53-point season for Patrik Laine… And a 40-point season for Kirby Dach :
Look into the future…

They started producing at a more-than-interesting pace, and that coincides nicely with Slaf’s blossoming.
They’ll be able to build on what they did at the end of last season, and if they can get results quickly, the confidence will build and they’ll have a great year on the ice.
It’s been years since the Habs have had (at least) three 60-point players in their line-up. The last time that happened was in 2014-2015… when Max Pacioretty (67 points), Tomas Plekanec (60 points) and P.K. Subban (60 points) accomplished the feat.
So we’re due. And it could happen this season if the first line continues to be so good.
