Height, Weight & Measurements
Nick Suzuki stands tall at 5 feet 11 inches (180 cm) and weighs approximately 197 pounds (89 kg). His strong physique combined with his exceptional agility makes him a formidable opponent on the rink.
In what was expected to be a development year for the rebuilding Canadiens, coach St. Louis began experimenting with different players in the other wing position to compliment the established duo of Suzuki and Caufield on the team's first line.
The early stages saw Anderson, Sean Monahan and Mike Hoffman rotate through before being nextly given to Kirby Dach, the former 2019 third overall selection acquired by the Canadiens in the offseason, whom had held the initial expectation that he would play centre.
Generating strong initial results as a unit, the team once again became plagued by injuries by the second half of the season, with Caufield being ruled out indefinitely due to shoulder surgery, while Dach, who also missed time, returned to the lineup and assumed position as second-line centre.
After seeing his scoring pace fall off as a result, Suzuki saw a late-season surge, highlighted by a four-game sequence where he managed ten points, tying his career high of 61 points with nine games remaining in the season. He would be named the NHL's second star of the week of March 20–26, the first such recognition in his career.
Finishing the season with 26 goals (sharing the team lead with Caufield) and 66 overall points, he would also be the Canadiens' sole representative at the All-Star Game that season and won the Molson Cup as the best franchise player for the second consecutive year.
Family, Dating & Relationship Status
When it comes to his personal life, Nick Suzuki keeps his family close and is often seen sharing moments with them through his social media platforms.

He values his relationship away from the spotlight, maintaining a balance between his professional and personal lives.
Entering play for the 2024–25 season, Suzuki reached a series of additional milestones in the early stages of the campaign. On November 11, 2024, he registered his 300th career NHL point in a 7–5 win over the Buffalo Sabres while he skated in his 400th career NHL game on December 7 versus the Washington Capitals.
On December 21, Suzuki contributed two assists in a 5–1 win over the visiting Detroit Red Wings to surpass the 200 career threshold for this statistical category.
After registering nine points through eight games during the month of February, including a stretch of three goals and four assists through the Canadiens' final three games of the monthly schedule, he would be named the NHL's third star of the week for the period ending on March 2, 2025.
On April 3, Suzuki would reach the 80-point mark to become the first franchise player since Alex Kovalev with such an offensive output dating back to 2007–08.
Two days later, he surpassed 82 points on the season, effectively securing a point-per-game (PPG) production over the course of a full league schedule as a Canadiens skater, lastly achieved by the aforementioned Kovalev.
With three multi-point games totaling seven points (four goals, three assists), Suzuki was named as the league's second star of the week for the period ending April 6. He had a goal and an assist in the team's season-ending victory over the Carolina Hurricanes, leading the Canadiens to the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in four years.
Finishing the regular season with 30 goals and 89 points, he earned his fourth straight Molson Cup honor, and was selected as the Canadiens' nominee for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy for the second consecutive year.

In 2021, Suzuki signed a 8-year contract worth $63 million, making him one of the highest-paid players in the league, which further solidified his financial status.
Suzuki began the 2023–24 season with only marginal point production in the opening stretch of games, attracting some criticism, but began to improve his totals by late October. On October 30, he played his 300th career NHL game, coincidentally against the Golden Knights, the team that had initially drafted him.
He scored a goal in regulation and the Canadiens' only shootout goal in a 3–2 loss. He had, to that point, seven points in seven career games against Vegas. In early 2024, Suzuki was chosen to represent the Canadiens at the All-Star Game for the third consecutive year.
He was also named the NHL's third star for the week of February 5–11, having four goals and two assists across three games, accounting for points on six of the Canadiens' nine goals in those games.
After a rotation of wingers joined Suzuki and Caufield on the top line during the early part of the season, the team's 2022 first overall draft pick, Juraj Slafkovský, gradually established himself as a regular presence with the foregoing, a combination which would enjoy strong results.
On March 5, Suzuki scored his 100th career NHL goal, the overtime winner in a 3–2 win over the Nashville Predators. Continuing to hit new milestones over the course of the season, he hit the 30-goal threshold on March 28 in a 4–1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.
With two goals in a 5–3 win over the Florida Panthers on April 2, Suzuki would reach the 70-point mark for the first time in his career while also becoming the fifth Canadiens player to do so amidst the salary cap era. Amassing a team-leading 33 goals and 77 points, he received his third consecutive Molson Cup honor.
He was also the Canadiens' nominee for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy, which is awarded annually to the NHL player who "best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and who has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community," citing his charitable efforts.
