What happened: RDS analyst Marc Denis raised whether Nick Suzuki's injury will force the Montreal Canadiens to address their center depth during a segment on TSN's That's Hockey. Suzuki's absence leaves a gap down the middle of the Montreal lineup during the regular season.

Why it matters: Losing an established center tests Montreal's internal options and increases pressure on the front office to evaluate external trade possibilities. Relying on existing roster depth down the middle carries risk for the Canadiens across even-strength and special-teams play while Suzuki recovers.

What to watch: Montreal's front office and coaching staff must decide whether internal lineup adjustments can hold the center position or if a roster move is necessary.
