Nick Suzuki scores a power-play goal in overtime, leading the Montreal Canadiens to a 3-2 comeback win over the Florida Panthers

The Canadiens completed the calendar year with a win on the road against the Panthers, much like last year. But this feels different.

Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki has been named to Team Canada for the coming Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, Italy. It’s the first time the 26-year-old will represent his country on the Olympic stage.

Here's why the Panthers' 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens may have ruined New Year's Eve for HC Paul Maurice.

Therefore, it should hardly come as a surprise Montreal overcame a 2-0 third-period deficit against Florida Tuesday night. But this time the visitors rebounded for a 3-2 overtime victory at Amerant Bank Arena thanks to captain Nick Suzuki’s winning goal — his second of the game — on the power play at 3:24 of the extra session.

Brad Marchand and Sam Reinhart scored for Florida in the loss. Marchand was honored for his 1,000th career point in a pregame ceremony.

Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki has had a fantastic year in 2025, and he deserves to represent his country at the Olympics, but will there be room for him? We'll finally have an answer on Wednesday.
