Nick Suzuki Out Two to Four Weeks, Ending a 546-Game Streak

Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki will be out two to four weeks with an upper-body injury, the team announced Thursday. He was hurt blocking a shot with his hand late in Montreal's 4-3 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks.

The injury ends a streak that ran his whole career: Suzuki had never missed an NHL game, and his iron-man run stops at 546 games, Sportsnet's Eric Engels reported. It was the second-longest active streak in the league.

The timing is hard on Montreal. The Canadiens, 4-3-2 and already without forward Ivan Demidov for much of the season, play the Jets outdoors in the Heritage Classic in Winnipeg on Sunday, October 25, without their captain.
